THE CATTLEYA HOUSE 1 1 



Mrs. R. H. Measures. — Pure white, even the lip, 

 except a touch of purple-crimson in the centre and slender 

 crimson veins. 



L.-C. Harold Measures. — A fine hybrid of L. e. Blen- 

 heimensis and Catt. superba splendens, which takes mostly 

 after the former in colouring, the latter in shape. It is a 

 round flower, with a crimson lip immensely broad ; two 

 small yellow spots are half concealed beneath the tube. 

 Sepals greenish tawny, petals dull pink with crimson lines. 



Sade Lloyd.- — .\ very pretty form. Sepals and petals 

 rosy, tinted with fawn colour. The crimson lip is edged 

 with a delicate white line, as are the lobes, which fold com-

 lip. 



Ophelia. — As big and as round as Catt. Mossiae. Tube 

 very thick and wide.

 petals dusky pink. Lip carmine - purple, rather narrow, 

 shaped like a highly ornamental spade. 



Paraleuka. — All snowy white save the carmine lip, the 

 form of which is curiously neat and trim.

 long, closely folded, rose -white, with lines of crimson pro- 

 ceeding from the back. As they meet at the lower edge
