DESCRIPTIVE LIST. 2OI 



A. Cattleya marginata. Rio Janeiro. Pax. Mag., 10, 265. 



I. H., I93 . 



A beautiful dwarf species. Sepals and petals rosy 

 crimson ; lip deep rose, bordered with white ; very fra- 

 grant. Should be grown on a block or in a basket. 

 Blooms in September. 



This plant is by some considered a Lcelia, and by 

 others as identical with Cattkya pumila. It seems to us 

 to be a very distinct species, differing in habit, in size 

 in its two-leaved pseudo-bulb, and in flower. There are 

 many varieties, all charming.
