 side, streaked with lilac. May, June. Mex. B.M. 5G67 

 B.R. 30:30. P.M. 12:1. G.O. IL 19:fi28.-A magnifi 

 cent orchid. Var. Alba, Reichb. f. White. A.G.19:109;

3. dlbida, Batem. Lvs. lance-linear, acute : scape

 35 :695. — The first white-flowered species discovered. 



Var. sulphiirea, Reichb. f. Larger: fls. sulfur-yellow, 

 with a rose-colored border on the middle lobe, and rose 

 spots on the inner surface of the side lobes. Var. b611a, 

 Hort., es-Williams, not Reichb. f. Fls. larger than the 

 type; sepals and petals ci-cainy white, faintly bordered 

 with lilac; lip white, the Tiiiddle lobe broadly bordered 

 with lieep rose and liaviiig three yellow ridges down

4. autumnd,Iis, Lindl. Lvs. oblong-linear, obtuse, cori- 

 aceous, 5 in. long: scape 13^-2 ft. long, 5-6-fld,, with 

 sheathing scales: fls. showy, fragrant; sepals lanceolate- 

 acuminate; petals oblong-lanceolate, undulate; lateral 

 lobes of the labellum large, erect, rotund-truncate, whit- 

 ish; middle lobe obovate, obtuse, apiculate, recurved, 

 deep purple; disk with two narrow yellow lamellae. In 

 color and general appearance much like L. anceps, hut 

 the segments lack the green ribs. Autumn. Mex. B.M. 

 3817. B.R.25:27. LH.1:17. P.M.6:121. G.C. 1872:1009. 

 — Grows on bare rocks and stunted trees in most ex- 

 posed situations, often at great altitudes. Less valu- 

 able than L. anceps. Var. hirfuricea, Rolfe {L. fur- 

 furcicea, Lindl,). This seems to In- a dwarf alpine form, 

 with the ovary more scurfy and tlie petals unusually 

 broad. It is always found at great elevations, occurring 

 frequently at 7,500-8,500 ft. Intermediate forms exist. 

 B.M. 3810. B,R. 25:26. Var. atrOrubens, Backhouse. 

 Pseudobulbs short : fls. large, deep rose or magenta, 

 darker toward the ends of the segments and the label- 

 lum; base of the labellum and lateral lobes white. Gn. 

 17:229. Var. veni^istat Hort, Goldring. In habit resem- 

 bles var. «^rorit&«Hs; stalk 2-3 ft. : fls. large, rosy mauve. 

 Gn, 25:438. Var. Fournieri, Ed. Andr^, Fls. about 6-7 

 in. across; sepals revolute at the summit, piirple-red; 

 petals rhomboid, of the same color, all paler toward the 

 base; labellum white, with the middle lobe colored like 

 the segments. Larger than var, atrorubens. R. H. 

 1896:548. Var. Alba, Hort. Fls. pure white. 



5. AmoIdiAna, Manda. Pseudobulbs 4-6 in. long, pyri- 

 forni, decjily furcate, 2 Ivd. : lvs. 5-7 in. long, leathery, 

 lance. >hite, tliiek and dark green: scape 1—4 ft. long, 

 3-11 tld.; sepals oblong -lanceolate, pointed; petals 

 broader, ovate, all somewhat reflexed, rose-colored; 

 middle lobe of the labellum reflexed, deep rose-purple, 

 paler towards the center; throat with 2 yellow keels, 

 spotted purple; lateral lobes straight, pale rose or white. 

 A species closely related to L. aiitiimnalis, from which 

 it differs in having bulbs growing erect and rigid lvs. 

 and in the absence of the fetid odor of L. a'ifinnnaUs 

 (W. A. Manda), Mex. A.P. 5:303. — Var. Forstermannii, 

 Hort. Identical with the type, but has jMiie white lis., 

 with a tinge of delicate pink on the ends uf the seg- 

 ments (W. A. Manda). 



6. Eyermanniana, Reichb. f. Natural hybrid. Pseudo- 

 bulbs like those of L. grandiflora: Ivs. oblong, acute, 

 very leathery, 6 in. long and 2 in. broad: racemes bear- 

 ing 3-4 fls. up to 4 in. across (as large as those of L. 

 Gouldiana, but smaller than L. aittamnalisj, rose-pur- 

 ple (white suffused with bright rosy crimson); sepals 

 lance-oblong, acute; petals broadly oblong or almost 

 rotund, obtuse; side lobes of the labellum oblong; mid- 

 dle lobe rounded, wavy, white bordered with rose and 

 having 3 yellow keels on the disk fading to whitish on 

 the blade, L. autumnalis x L. grandiflora, Reichb. L. 

 autmnnalis x L. albida, Rolfe. G.C. III. 4:109, 



7. Crawshayana, Reichb. f. Natural hybrid. Pseudo- 

 bullis and lvs. as in L, albida: scape few-(2)-fld,, long 

 as in L. mirfps, but thinner and with shorter, narrower 

 sheaths: sepals and petals narrower than in L. anceps, 

 of a fine amethyst color; labellum open near the column ; 

 side lobes obtuse angled, antrorse, rich purple at the 

 tips; middle lobe cuneate, abruptly blunt, lower half 

 rich purple; throat yellow, veined with purple, 3-keeled. 

 According to Reichb. , a hybrid between L. a nceps ( / ) and 

 autumnalis{?) or albida and anceps. J.H. lU. 30:67 (as 

 L. anceps,v3,r. Crawshayana). The plant there figured 

 is probably the species in question, although, according 

 to the figure and the accompanying description, the se- 

 pals and petals are wider than those of L. anceps. 



8. GouldUna, Reichb. f. Pseudobulbs ovate, 2-lvd. : 

 lvs. ol)long-linear: scape slender, 1-2 ft. long, bearing 

 as many as 6 deep rose-purple fls. resembling those
