flower. Mr. Loddiges, whose number 647. it is, informs me, that it is quite the habit of Cattleya 
crispa. The flowers are very pale yellowish green, of no beauty, and about the size of Maxillaria 
alba, which they are something like. The number of pollenmasses in certainly eight, which makes 
the plant a Laelia and not a Cattleya.“ (Vid. florem valde miserum in herb. Lindleyano.) Num
