MASDEVALLIA. 891 



M. Harryaiia atrosanguinea, Williams. — This variety is the 

 darkest form of M. Harri/ana we have yet met with, having 

 richly coloured handsome flowers of large size, the lateral 

 sepals being nearly an inch wide, of a rich glowing crimson 

 flushed with magenta. The points of the lateral sepals are 

 falcate-lanceolate, so that they turn inwards, and nearly meet 

 at the point. — Neic Grenada. 

 YiG.—Orchid Album, iii. t. 105. 



M. Harryana coerulesceiis, Hort. — The flowers of this 



variety are very large and of fine substance, the two lower 

 sepals having together almost a circular outline, and measuring 

 across the centre two and a half inches ; these lateral sepals 

 are broadly semiovate and apiculate, and of a rich magenta- 

 crimson, flushed with bluish purple. — New Grenada.

M. Harryana Denisoniana, Hort. — This is undoubtedly one 



of the largest and richest-coloured forms of the group of 

 varieties to which the name of M. Harryana is applied. The 

 lateral sepals are very broad and have each a short acute 

 subulate point, which is turned inwards almost horizontally. 

 The colour is the deepest blood-crimson flushed with magenta. 

 This plant is often found in collections under the name of the 

 Bull's- blood variety of M. Harryana, but after making many 

 comparisons between the two we have always found them to 

 be the same. It is certainly one of the most distinct varieties 

 of this beautiful species, and should be found in every col- 

 lection. — New Grenada.

M. Harryana grandiflora, Williams. — This is the largest 

 form of M. Harryana we have seen. It has a fine and well- 

 rounded form with flowers of a bright magenta- crimson, about 

 three inches long by two and three-quarter inches broad, and 

 having the tips of the lateral sepals turned inwards in a hori- 

 zontal fashion. — Nexc Grenada. 



M. Harryana Iseta, Bchh. f. — A very distinct and beautiful 

 variety, having large bright rosy purple flowers. It is very 

 peculiar in shape, being much narrowed at the upper part of 

 the flower, and having the margins slightly undulated. This 

 variety is more distinctly striped than are many of the forms. 

 — New Grenada.
