HYBRID CATTLEYAS AND LAELIAS 93 



deepening towards the tips. Lip crimson, streaked with white 

 on the side lobes, with white and rosy purple on the disc. 



L.-C. Eiidora (Catt. Mendelii x L. purpurata). — Rosy 

 purple. Lip deepest crimson shaded with maroon. 



L.-C. Eudora alba (L. purpurata alba x Catt. Mendelii). 

 — Ivory white. Lip crimson with purple shadings. 



L.-C. Hippolyta (Catt. Mossiae x L. cinnabarina). — Bright 

 orange with a rosy purplish tinge. The lip red-purple, much 

 frilled. 



L.-C. Zephyra (Catt. Mendehi x L. xanthina). — All 

 Nankin yellow except the crimson disc, which has a pale 

 margin. 



L.-C. Amesiana (L. crispa x Catt. maxima). — White 

 washed with amethyst. Lip purple-crimson fading towards 

 the margin. 



L.-C. Exoniensis (Catt. Mossiae x L. crispa). — White 

 flushed with rosy mauve. Lip purple-crimson. 



L. x Tula (L. cinnabarina x L. purpurata). — Scarcely 

 larger than cinnabarina, bright orange, the petals veined and 

 flushed with crimson. The lip of size proportionate — that 

 is, small — shows more of the purpurata influence in its 

 bright crimson disc. 



L. X Tula inversa (L. purpurata x L. cinnabarina). — The 

 same parentage but transposed. More than twice as large 

 as the other and spreading, but thin. Sepals of the liveliest 

 orange, petals agreeably tinged with purple. On the long 

 narrow lip this pink shade deepens almost to red. Upon 

 the v/hole, neither of them is to be commended for its own 

 sake, but the brilliant orange of cinnabarina is retained so 

 perfectly that both will prove valuable for hybridising. 



C. X Our dueen (Catt. Mendehi x unknown). — Sepals 

 and petals white, faintly flushed. In the throat, of brightest 

 yellow, are several brown lines. The upper part of the lip 

 is crimson, the disc purple.
