C. bulbosa. — See Cattleya Walkeriana. 



C. caluinniata, Andre. — A very beautiful and distinct 

 hybrid, raised by M. Bleu of Paris, between C. amethystina 

 and C. AclandicE. The stems are stronger than those of C^ 

 Aclandm. The sepals and petals are blush white, spotted 

 with violet-purple, as in C. mnetkystocjlossa, and the lip is a 

 rich violet-purple in the centre, passing to a lighter tint of the 

 some colour on either side. This plant is said to flower twice 

 a year. — Garden hybrid.

C. Candida, Hort. — A desirable free-growing species, allied 

 to C. intermedia. It grows about a foot high, making two 

 growths in a year, and blooms from both, producing three or 

 four flowers on a spike ; the sepals and petals are white, 

 delicately shaded with pink, and the lip is of the same colour 

 with a dash of yellow in the centre. It flowers from July to 

 November, and lasts three or four weeks in good condition, if 

 the flowers are kept free from damp. This plant has become 

 very rare in cultivation. — Brazil. 



C. Clianiberlainiaiia, Bchb. f. — This new hybrid Cattleija 

 is a cross between C. i/uttata Leopoldii and C. Vowiana, and 

 is named in honour of the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,, 

 M.P. The growth of the plant resembles that of Leopoldii,. 

 but is considerably dwarfer. The flowers have brownish 

 purple sepals, rich purple petals, and a lip like Leopoldii 

 of a rich purple -magenta ; it flowers in the latter part of the 

 summer. — Garden hybrid. 



C. chocoensis, Linden et Andre. — A very handsome but 

 variable species, with oblong clavate stems, solitary oblong- 

 cuneate emarginate leaves, and large fragrant flowers, which 

 are not expanded like the majority of Cattleyas, but somewhat, 

 campanulate in shape ; the sepals and petals are large and 

 broad, fringed at the edges, pure white, the lip yellow, stained 

 in front with rich magenta-purple. The different varieties of 

 this species appear to vary considerably in their colour and 

 markings ; thus in some the yellow is much reduced, and 

 the purple tint predominates, even extending over the lateral 

 lobes. The half-closed flowers, however, are always character- 

 istic. — Neiv Grenada: Choco.
