L^ELIOCATTLEYA DOMINI AN A.

 L^ELIOCATTLEYA DOMINIANA, var. LANGLEYENSIS. 



The Garden, 1899, vol. Ivi. p. 142, pi. 1236. 



Eaised at Langley from Laelia purpurata and Cattleya Dowiana, and 

 a beautiful interesting hybrid, as it clears up the uncertainty which 

 previously existed as to the origin of Laeliocattleya Dominiana, one of 

 the early hybrids raised without a record by John Dominy. 



L^LIOCATTLEYA EPICASTA. 



Gard. Chron. 1893, vol. xiv. p. 342 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; Jour, of 

 Hort. 1895, April 25th, pp. 358, 364, fig. 60; Gard. Mag. 1895, May 4th, p. 261, fig. 



Obtained by Seden from Laelia pumila and Cattleya Warscewiczii. 



L^LIOCATTLEYA EUMCEA. 



Orchid Review, 1894, vol. ii. p. 21. 



The first result of many attempts to cross the Mexican Laelias with 

 the South American Cattleyas. Eaised by Seden from Cattleya Trianae 

 and Laelia majalis, the flowers smaller than those of the Cattleya parent, 

 have much the same shape, and the influence of the Laelia is seen in the 

 colour and in certain slight modifications in the form. 



L^ILIOCATTLEYA EUDOEA. 



Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1899, p. 18. 



A superb hybrid, the offspring of Cattleya Mendelli and Laelia purpu- 

 rata, with flowers between 7 in. to 8 in. in diameter : one of the finest of 

 all the Lseliocattleyas.
