is nothing of a middle nature in the pseudobulbs, and its inflo- 
rescence is exactly that of C. Skinneri, without any tendency to 
assume the long-drawn form of #. Skinneri. Moreover the lip, 
although acute like that organ in the last-mentioned species, is 
wholly destitute of the three lamellz which belong to it. To 
this may be added, that in the petals of the plant before us 
there is the same tendency to become lobed which occurs in 
Cattleya Skinneri. On the other hand the pollen-masses appear 
to be abortive, a circumstance remarked by Mr. Fitch as well as 
ourselves. 
Although, for these reasons, we are unable at present to re- 
cognize in this instance the presence of a natural hybrid, we 
think it a plant the history of which requires further examina- 
tion. This is to be especially noted, that the origin of the plant 
which has now flowered, whether or not collected by Warsze- 
wicz, as is supposed, has nothing in common with the specimen 
discovered in 1854 or 1855 by Mr. Skinner. The two cases 
appear to be wholly independent of each other. Lindley.
