 two and even three flowers on the stalk ; the 

 trumpet lips more widely opened and more hand- 

 somely frilled, the colour brighter. Spring. Central

 Very pretty. The flower has various shades, from 

 lemon to pale green, lip almost white, with touches 

 of crimson. Autumn. Mexico. 1859. 3s. 6^. 



Lepida (pretty). Kesembles coccinea, but the 

 colour is more distinctly rosy. May. Central

Suavis (sweet). A very handsome flower, some- 

 times three on the spike ; white, the trumpet-lip 

 yellow inside, grandly opened and frilled, gracefully 

 spotted with violet pink. Scented like hawthorn. 

 Spring. Costa Kica. 1848. 5s. This does better 

 with Cattleyas.

 very narrow, reddish brown margined with dull 

 yellow; lip trumpet-shaped as usual, yellowish 

 white, heavily spotted with rose. Summer. Mexico. 

 1835. 3s. 6rf.
