Bertolonias and their allies furnish an excellent example of Van Houtte's triumphs in hybridization. The two species described below have probably been important factors in the plant-breeding, and Gravesia guttata even more so. Gravesia is a Madagascar plant, and has, perhaps, been crossed with the Brazilian bertolonias. Unfortunately, the pictures in Flore des Serres show no flowers, and the pedigree is not given. The bertonerilas figured and described in l.H. 43, pp. 188 and 189, with colored plates 64 and 68, are presumably hybrids between Bertolonia and Sonerila. Excepting B. maculata and B. marmorata, the following are hybrids:

Other trade names are B. guttata, Hook. f.-Gravesia guttata.— B. margaritacea. Hort. Bull.-Salpinga margaritacea.—B. primulae flora, Hort.—Monolena primulaelora.—B. pubscens, Hort., with long white hairs, and a chocolate band down the center. Ecuador. —B. punctatissima, Hort.— B. superbissima, Hort. (B. superba?, Hort.), with rose-colored spots, which are larger and brighter near the margin. F.M. 151 (1875).—Probably a variety of Gravesia  guttata.
