HORTUS VEITCHII 



L^LIOCATTLEYA EUNOMIA. 



Gard. Chron. 1895, vol. xviii. p. 307 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; Orchid 

 Review, 1895, vol. iii. p. 292. 



Eaised by Seden from Laelia pumila Dayana and Cattleya Gaskelliana, 

 and fairly intermediate in shape, but on the whole most resembling the 

 pollen parent, C. Gaskelliana. 



The sepals and petals are bright lilac-rose, the lip amethyst-purple with 

 two small yellow blotches on the disc. 



L^BLIOCATTLEYA EUPHBOSYNE. 



Gard. Chron. 1895, vol. xviii. p. 527 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee). 

 Raised from Laelia pumila Dayana and Cattleya Warscewiczii ; the 

 flowers large and well formed, light rose-colour, with a bright purple lip 

 with a central primrose -yellow disc. 



LJELIOCATTLEYA EXIMIA. 



Gard. Chron. 1890, vol. vii. p. 800 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee); Lindenia, 



t. 386. 



Noteworthy as the first of a series of Cattleya Warneri crossed with 

 Laelia purpurata. The flowers are highly coloured and the lip extremely 

 handsome. 



L^LIOCATTLEYA EXONIENSIS. 



Syns. Cattleya x exoniensis. 



Rolfe in Jour. Linn. Soc. vol. xxiv. p. 169 ; Fl. Mag. 1866, t. 269; Gard. Chron. 1867, 

 p. 1144 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. ii. p. 95. 



One of Dominy's earliest and most successful efforts, and, at the time 

 of its introduction the most beautiful of the noble race to which it belongs ; 

 the parents were probably Laelia crispa and Cattleya Mossiae. 



L^ELIOCATTLEYA FAUSTA, Eolfe. 



Syns. Cattleya X Fausta, Rchb. 



Rolfe in Gard. Chron. 1889, vol. v. p. 619; Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1873, p. 289, figs, 

 p. 290; The Garden, 1873, vol. iv. p. 435, fig. ; Fl. Mag. t. 189; Veitchs' Man. 

 Orch. PI. pt. ii. p. 90. 



Eaised by Seden from a cross between Cattleya Loddigesii and 

 Laeliocattleya exoniensis, but no great improvement on the parents. 



There are several varieties, which differ somewhat in colour, distin- 

 guished by the names aurea, bella, crispa, and delicata. 



L^ELIOCATTLEYA FELIX. 

 Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1876, vol. vi. p. 68 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. ii. p. 96. 



Eaised by John Dominy, probably from Cattleya Schilleriana crossed 

 with Laelia crispa : a poor thing.
