1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, 
Lelia—continued. 
L. harpophylla. A few years ago this species was very rare: 
now it is somewhat common, Fig. 482 gives an idea of the 
habit and general aspect of the plant. 
L. lobata (lobed). The correct name of Cattleya lobata. Syns. 
L, Boothiana, L. Rivieri. 
L. longipes (long-stalked). jl. 2in. across; sepals and petals 
pale mauve-purple, spreading; lip golden-yellow, rather 
shorter than the sepals, three-lobed ; peduneles flexuous, two- 
or three-flowered. July. J. solitary, sessile, din. to 6in. long, 
narrowly elliptic-oblong, obtuse. Brazil, 1893. (B. M. 7541.) 
L. Lucasiana (Lucas’s). This species is closely allied to 
LL erispilabia, from which it mainly differs in having a yellow 
ape the other parts of the flower are purplish-mauve. Brazil, 
L. pachystele (thick-columned). This is probably synonymous 
with Lelio-Cattleya elegans. 
L. peduncularis. This is now regarded as a variety of 
L. rubescens, and its correct name is L. r. rosea.

Syns. L. Pinelii, Cattleya Pinelii. 
L. pumila (dwarf). The correct name of Cattleya marginata. 
(M. O. ii. 78.) Syn. C. pumila. There is a white-flowered form, 
candida. 
L. purpurata Russelliana (Russell's). /l. large ; sepals white, 
suffused lilac, rather narrow; petals slightly deeper-coloured 
and broader; lip rosy-lilac, large, with a band of light rose 
near the yellow, rose-pencilled throat. Brazil. Very rare. 
(W. O. A. vi. 269.) Syn. L. Russelliana. 
L. p. Schreederii (Baron von Schreeder’s), /., sepals and 
petals pure white; inner surface of the tube of the lip pale 
ochreous-yellow, with radiating lines of deep purple, the 
anterior lobe mauve-purple, bordered with white. (W. O. A. i. 2.) 
L. Rivieri (Riviére’s). A synonym of L. lobata. 
L. rubescens (reddish). The correct name of DL. acuminata. 
(B. R. 1845, 69; M. O. iii. 81; W. O. A. iv. 163.) 
L. r. alba (white). 1. white, with a yellow stain on the lip. 
L. r. rosea (rosy). The correct name of L. peduncularis. 
L. rupestris (rock-loving). fl. violet ; sepals and petals oblong, 
acute; lip circular, the middle lobe obtuse, crisped, wit) 
straight, elevated lines; scape racemose, many-flowered. 
November. 2. oblong, erect, channelled. Pseudo-bulbs one- 
leaved. Brazil, 1840, Allied to L. flava. Syn. Bletia rupestris.

Lelia—continued. 
L. Russelliana (Russell’s). A variety of L. purpurata. 
L. Schilleriana (Schiller’s). A synonym of Lelio-Cattleya 
Schilleriana. 
L. Schroederii (Baron von Schreeder’s). A variety of ZL. pur- 
purata. 
L. tenebrosa (dark).* j., sepals and petals coppery-bronze ; lip 
purple, of a lighter shade at the margin, darker in the throat, 
and having a dark blotch on either side of the disk. Bahia, 
1891. Allied to L. grandis, of which it is by some authorities 
classed as a variety. (L. vii., t. 290; R. ser. ii., p. 69, t. 33; 
W. O. A., t. 487.) There are several named forms of this 
beautiful plant. 
L. Wallisii is a form of Cattleya labiata. 
L. Warneri (Warner’s) A synonym of JLelio-Cattleya 
Schilleriana. 
Lelias, like the closely-allied Cattleyas, have lent them- 
selves readily to the skill of the hybridist, with the result 
that many charming plants have been produced. We 
append a list of all those recorded, with their parents, to 
date. Many of the hybrids which were originally described 
as Lelias haye now been removed, and are classed under 
the name of Lelio-Cattleya, under which heading they 
will be found.

LZELIO-CATTLEYA. These are bigeneric hybrids 
derived from the intercrossing of the two _ species 
Cattleya and Lelia, and through the compounding of 
these specific names the bigeneric name is founded. 
The cultural requirements are the same as those recom- 
mended for Cattleyas.
