CATTLEYA 



CC. Peduncles erect. 

 D. Lateral lobes of labellum practically wauling. 



18. AcMndiSB, Lindl. Dwarf : sts. slender, 4 in. tall : 

 Ivs. elliptical: peduncle 1-2-tld. : fls. about 4 in. across; 

 sepals and petals nearly equal, oblong, yellowish verg- 

 ing on green, spotted and blotched with dark purple 

 (much less distinct on dorsal surface); labellum with 

 small lateral lobes that do not include the column, pale 

 purple, with dark veins and a yellow line under the 

 fleshy column. Brazil. B.M. 5039.

20. Victbria-Keglna, O'Brien. Pseudobulbs slightly 

 clavate : Ivs. elliptical-oblong : peduncle short, 2-3- or 

 more fld.: sepals oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, inferior 

 ones tinged with yellow at the base, otherwise pink- 

 lilac ; petals undulate, similar to the sepals in color ; 

 labellum 3-lobed, lateral lobes whitish, with purple- 

 violet blotch near summit, midlobe rounded on distal 

 margin, crimson ; disk yellow, striated with crimson. 

 Pernamhuco, 1891. — A hybrid between C. lahiata and 

 C. Leopoldi, var. Pernnmbueensis. One peculiarity 

 that tends to show this origin is the variability in the 

 number of leaves, sometimes 1, sometimes 2 being 

 borne on a stem. 



21. intermedia, Graham (C. amethystina, Morr. ). 

 Pseudobulbs 18 in. high, jointed, rarely 3-Ivd.: Ivs.

 suffused with pale rose-lilac: labellum distinctly 3-lobed; 

 throat whitish streaked with crimson-magenta, midlobe 

 rather narrow, crimson-magenta. Rio de Janeiro. B.M. 

 2851. P.M. 1:151. — Var. punctatisaima, Sander, is simi- 

 lar to the type, but the petals and sepals are peppered 

 unevenly with crimson spots of various sizes. Var. 

 Parth^nia, Reichb. f., is white throughout. Brazil, 1886. 



2J Ffirbesu Lindl. Fls. about 5 ; sepals oblong, ob- 

 tuse pale greenish yellow ; petals oblong-lanceolate, 

 undulate same color: labellum trilobed, lateral lobes 

 pale yellow without, brighter yellow within ; the 

 midlobe rather dentate, pale yellow ; the disk 

 brighter yellow, spotted with reddish purple toward 

 the base. Braz. B.M. 3265. 

 '\ 23. Lbddigesii, Lindl. if. ca'jidjda, Wil- 



liams). Pseudobulbs about 1 ft. high: 

 If. -blades ovate, 5 in. long : fls. 

 2-4, pale pink-lilac; sepals elliptic- 

 oblong; petals very similar; label- 

 lum 3-lobed, throat and inner sur- 

 face of lateral lobes whitish, colored 

 on the outside like the petals, the 

 midlobe colored like the petals, 

 spreading, base yellowish: column 

 closely presoed "to the labellum. 

 Brazil. — This Cattleya was form- 

 erly called Epidcndrum violaceum, 

 and as an horticultural species is 

 much older than C. labiatn, which is often 

 considered the oldest species in the group. 

 Var. Harrisoniana, Hort. (C. Harri- 

 soniAna, Batem. C. Hurrisonifv. Past.). 

 Surface of the labellum more corrugated. 

 Really too like the preceding even to be a 

 variety. P.M. 4:247. Gn. 48:1040. 



24. guttita, indl. Pseudobulbs fusiform, 2-3-lvd.; 

 If. -blades elliptic-oblong : peduncle stout, bearing sev- 

 eral large ds. ; sepals obloug-lanceolate ; petals rather 

 broader, all yellowish green (metallic), spotted with 

 brown-purple ; labellum 3-lobed, lateral lobes pink- 

 lilac, midlobe large, cuneiform, deeper colored. Rio de 

 Janeiro. Var. Lbopoldi, Hort. (C Leopoldii. Versch. 

 & Lem.), has smaller and more numerous fls. £.H.2:fi9.
