WALKERS CATTLEYA. 
Perhaps the nearest relation of this plant is with C. superia, from which, however, its dwarf habit 
and incomplete lip readily distinguish it. 
All known snecies of this beautiful genus are so highly deserving cultivation that an enumeration

Flowers large, rose-coloured, 
with a deep purple- violet lip. Very like C. superba, 
except in colour, but the leaves are represented as 
being much narrower, and the lip is said not to have 
either wrinkled veins or callosities. Unknown to us 
except from Professor Morren's figure made from a 
Belgian specimen in the possession of M. Alexander 
Versehaffelt.

— The two forms to which th» <,h™« ____ t ,. . 
applied, differ in little except colour. In C. labiata, 
the lip is stained with one deep uniform tint of crimson ; 
in C. Mossia?, it is richly variegated with crimson veins 
upon a yellowish ground. The first is from swamps 
in Brazil, the latter is from the Caraccas, where it 
grows at an elevation of three thousand feet above 
the sea, sporting into many clrarming modifications of 
colour. 
There is a C. quadricolor in the possession of Mr. 
Rucker, with which we are not sufficiently acquainted 
to say how it differs from the last.
