 inside, streaked with lilac. Mav, June. Mex. B.M. 

 5667. B.R. 30:30. P.M. 12:1." G.C. II. 19:628. A 

 magnificent orchid. Var. alba, Reichb. f. White. 

 A.G. 19:109; 20:371. G.C. III. 40:45. Var. majus 

 is advertised. 



3. albida, Batem. Lvs. lance-linear, acute: scape 

 twice as long as the Ivs.; fls. 2 in. across, pure trans-

 few crimson dots at its base, sweet-scented; sepals

 very acute; labellum 3-lobed; side lobes small, erect; 

 middle lobe large, round-ovate, reflexed. All autumn 

 and winter. Oaxaca, Mex. B.M. 3957. B.R. 25:54. 

 Gn. 35:314. The first white-fld. species discovered. 

 Var. sulphurea, Reichb. f. Larger: fls. sulfur-yellow, 



L^LIA 



with a rose-colored border on the middle lobe, and rose 

 spots on the inner surface of the side lobes. Var. bella, 

 Hort., ex Williams, not Reichb. f. Fls. larger than the 

 type; sepals and petals creamy white, faintly bordered 

 with lilac; lip white, the middle lobe broadly bordered 

 with deep rose and having 3 yellow ridges down the 

 center. Var. r6sea, Hort. Fls. rose-colored. Var. 

 majus is advertised. 



4. autumnalis, Lindl. Lvs. oblong-linear, obtuse, 

 coriaceous, 5 in. long: scape 1^2-2 ft. long, 5-6-fld., with 

 sheathing scales; fls. showy, fragrant; sepals lanceolate- 

 acuminate; petals oblong-lanceolate, undulate; lateral 

 lobes of the labellum large, erect, rotund-truncate, whi- 

 tish; middle lobe obovate, obtuse, apiculate, recurved, 

 deep purple; disk with 2 narrow yellow lamellae. In 

 color and general appearance much like L. anceps, but 

 the segms. lack the green ribs. Autumn. Mex. B.M. 

 3817. B.R. 25:27. I.H. 1:17. P.M. 6:121. G.C. 

 1872:1009. Grows on bare rocks and stunted trees 

 in most exposed situations, often at great altitudes. 

 Less valuable than L. anceps. Var. furfuracea, Rolfe 

 (L. furfuracea, Lindl.). This seems to be a dwarf alpine 

 form, with the ovary more scurfy and the petals 

 unusually broad. It is always found at great elevations, 

 occurring frequently at 7,500-8,500 ft. Intermediate 

 forms exist. B.M. 3810. B.R. 25:26. Var. atrdrubens, 

 Backh. Pseudobulbs short: fls. large, deep rose or 

 magenta, darker toward the ends of the segms. and the 

 labellum; base of the labellum and lateral lobes white. 

 Gn. 17:368. Var. venusta, Hort. Goldring. In habit 

 resembles var. atrorubens: stalk 2-3 ft.: fls. large, rosy 

 mauve. Gn. 25:366. Var. Fournieri, Andri. Fls. 

 about 6-7 in. across; sepals revolute at the summit, 

 purple-red; petals rhomboid, of the same color, all 

 paler toward the base; labellum white, with the middle 

 lobe colored like the segms. Larger than var. atroru- 

 bens. R.H. 1896:548. Var. alba, Hort. Fls. pure white. 



5. Arnoldiana, Manda. Pseudobulbs 4-6 in. long, 

 pyriform, deeply furcate, 2-lvd.: Ivs. 5-7 in. long, 

 leathery, lanceolate, thick and dark green: scape 1-4 

 ft. long, 3-11-fld.; sepals oblong-lanceolate, pointed; 

 petals broader, ovate, all somewhat reflexed, rose- 

 colored; middle lobe of the labellum reflexed, deep rose- 

 purple, paler toward the center; throat with 2 yellow 

 keels, spotted purple; lateral lobes straight, pale rose 

 or white. A species closely related to L. autumnalis, 

 from which it differs in having bulbs growing erect and 

 rigid Ivs. and in the absence of the fetid odor of L. 

 autumnalis. (W. A. Manda.) Mex. A.F. 5:303. Var. 

 Forstermannii, Hort. Identical with the type, but has 

 pure white fls., with a tinge of delicate pink on the ends 

 of the segms. (W. A. Manda.) 



6. Eyermanniana, Reichb. f. (L. autumnalis x L. 

 grandiflora, Reichb. L. autumnalis x L. albida, Rolfe). 

 Natural hybrid. Pseudobulbs like those of L. grandi- 

 flora: Ivs. oblong, acute, very leathery, 6 in. long and 2 

 in. broad: racemes bearing 3-4 fls. up to 4 in. across 

 (as large as those of L. Gouldiana, but smaller than L. 

 autumnalis), rose-purple (white suffused with bright 

 rosy crimson) ; sepals lance-oblong, acute; petals broadly 

 oblone; or almost rotund, obtuse; side lobes of the label- 

 lum oblong; middle lobe rounded, wavy, white bordered 

 with rose and having 3 yellow keels on the disk fading to 

 whitish on the blade. G.C. III. 4:109. 



7. Crawshayana, Reichb. f. Natural hybrid. Pseudo- 

 bulbs and Ivs. as in L. albida: scape few (2)-fld., long 

 as in L. anceps, but thinner and with shorter, narrower 

 sheaths; sepals and petals narrower than in L. anceps, 

 of a fine amethyst-color; labellum open near the column; 

 side lobes obtuse-angled, antrorse, rich purple at the 

 tips; middle lobe cuneate, abruptly blunt, lower half 

 rich purple; throat yellow, veined with purple, 3-keeled. 

 According to Reichb., a hybrid between L. anceps(l) 

 and L. autumnalis (!) or L. albida and L. anceps. 

 J.H. III. 30:67; 54:27 (as L. anceps var. Crawshayana).
