Wallisii). EPIPHRONITIS At the time of writing only two hybrids between a Sophron-itis and an Epidendrum have been recorded. The first of these isEpiphronitis Veitchii, a delightful little plant that grows abouta foot high, and yields an abundance of brilliant crimson-scarlet. EPIDENDRUM VITELLINUM MAJUS. THE MOST USEFUL ORCHIDS 103 flowers, like broad, flattened Epidendrums, each with a prominentyellow blotch on the lip. It grows with the utmost freedom atthe cool end of the intermediate house, and can be propagated bydivision with great ease. The parents are Sophronitis grandifloraand Epidendrum radicans. The second hybrid is EpiphronitisOrpeti, of American origin, and derived from EpidendrumGBrienianum and Sophronitis violacea. LiELIA The Lselias are a fairly large family of, for the most part,very effective, beautiful, and useful Orchids. In some instances itis difficult to distinguish a Lselia from a Cattleya in outward appear-ance, but as a rule the Laelias have not such large flowers asCattleyas, and the flowers have narrower segments. Botanicallythe difference is also very slight, and consists in the Lselias havingeight pollinia instead of four as in Cattleya. Lselias intercrossreadily with Cattleyas, and the hybrids, known as
