CATIELEEY A. 111 
C. Percivaliana.—A distinct and beautiful Cattleya, of 
medium size, and not unlike a small C. Mossiz in 
general characters. The colour of the flowers is, however, 
deeper, and the lip is exceptionally richly marked, being 
crimson shaded with maroon, rich yellow in the throat, 
and thickly veined with red and purple. The beauty 
of the markings on the lip cannot be easily described 
in words. This comparatively new kind is easily grown 
and flowered. It requires the same treatment as recom- 
mended for C. Mossiz, with very little shade, even in the 
brightest weather. The flowers are developed in mid- 
winter. There are several named forms of it, which differ 
from the type in the markings of the lip and the shade 
of purple in the sepals and petals. Introduced in 1882, 
from Venezuela.

C. Schilleriana.—This resembles C. Acklandiz in its habit 
of growth, but the pseudo-bulbs are more robust, the texture 
of its leaves is more leathery, and they are reddish on the 
under side. The flowers are large, measuring between 3in. 
and 4in.in diameter, and are borne upon an erect scape, which 
is three- to five-flowered. The sepals and petals are olive- 
green, and more or less spotted with rosy purple. The lip is 
large and spreading, the ground-colour being deep amethyst, 
tinged with rosy purple; this is set off by a neat marginal 
border of white, whilst the throat is stained with yellow. 
It requires the same treatment as recommended for C. 
Acklandiz, and flowers both in early summer and in the 
middle of the autumn. It is a native of Brazil, whence 
it was introduced in 1857, and flowered in the collection of 
Consul Schiller, at Hamburg. It is sometimes known by 
the name of C. Regnediz.
