6in. long, coriaceous. Pseudo-bulbs much corrugated or wrinkled,

corymbosa (corymbose). Л. pure white. February. The 
flower-spikes in most instances are nicely thrown above its 
beautiful deep green archi gr whilst others nestle amongst 
its large pseudo-bulbs. In 1876. 
С. cristata (crested).* fl. fragrant, Sin. to 4in. in diameter ; sepals 
and petals snow-white; lip white, with a large blotch of rich 
yellow in the middle, the veins oat ornamented with a golden 
crest-like fringe; raceme somewha A many-fiowered, 
about Qin. long. December to March. J. twin, narrow, 
coriaceous, dark green. Pseudo-bulbs somewhat oblong, smooth, 
shining, apple-green colour. Nepaul, 1837. When growing, the 
temperature of the cool end of the Cattleya house will suit this 
species admirably ; but during winter, it should be kept quite 
cool ; indeed, when in flower, it may be removed to the draw- 
ing room or parlour without fear of injury, forming there a most 
enjoyable and attractive ornament. 
It must, however, be placed in the 
stove again before the shoots begin 
to grow, or the dryness of the at- 
mosphere may cause the growths to 
be stunted, and thus one season’s 
bloom would be lost. It is ex- 
y easy to grow. One of its 
many i says, “You may 
take a piece, and suspend it to a 
0! үр wire in a temperate 
brary, to the level of the nose, 
and it shall be to that organ, and 
to the eye that sees it, as agreeable 
three weeks hence as it is to-day, 
by simply taking a mouthful of pure 
water and giving the bulb a squirt 
every — without wetting the 
leaves." (B. R. 27, 57.) Thereisa 
variety of this plant having a pale 
lemon-coloured blotch upon the lip, 
instead of the rich yellow colour 
of the normal form; and another 
with pure white flowers (see Warner 
og Williams’ **Orchid Album," t. 
).

A variety, brunnea, has pure brown flowers.

nceolate, about 6in. long, bright green. Pseudo-

but lovely small-growing species, suitable for cultiva- 
tion on a block of wood. It requires cool treatment. 
C. Hookeriana (Hooker's).* jl, rose-purple, white, 
brown, yellow. Мау. Л. 3in. Sikkim, 1878. A pretty

spots and stains on lip. 
C. lagenaria (bottle-shaped) fl. solitary ; ls and petals lilac
