106 ORCHIDS. 
as advised for C. Dowiana. Flowering season, spring. It 
was introduced from the Roraima Mountain, in British 
Guiana, by Messrs. Sander & Co., in 1884, and is named 
in compliment to Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., President 
of the Royal Horticultural Society. 
Sander’s Reichenbachia, i., t. 12. 
C. Loddigesii—Similar in habit and stem to C. Har- 
risoniana. Flowers on erect peduncles, 4in. in diameter; 
sepals and petals equal, delicate rose-lilac; lip with a 
broad, rounded blade, crisp at the margin, coloured pale 
amethyst-purple, with a pale yellow blotch on the disc. 
It blooms in August, and remains a long time in per- 
fection. Although a small Cattleya, this is a desirable 
plant for amateur collections, being easily grown, cheap, 
and a free bloomer. It thrives under the treatment re- 
commended for Cattleyas generally. Introduced by Messrs. 
Loddiges, of Hackney, early in the present century. It 
is one of the commonest of Orchids in Brazil. 
C. Luddemanniana.—This is another member of the 
labiata group, resembling C. Mossiz in the size and shape 
of its pseudo-bulbs and leaves, and also somewhat in its 
flowers. The latter measure 8in. across, and are pro- 
duced on spikes three or four together. The petals are 
three times as broad as the sepals, and the lip is large, 
folding well over at the sides. The whole flower is purplish 
rose, except the spreading portion of the lip, which is of a 
deep amethyst-purple, with two blotches of yellow or creamy 
white in the throat, where also there are diverging lines of 
bright amethyst. This species is also called C. spectosissima 
Lowit and C. Mossiz autumnalis. It is a magnificent 
Cattleya, but is somewhat difficult to flower. The flowers 
appear directly after the new growth attains full size, and 
not after a rest as the others do. It requires an airy, light
