 in most exposed situations, often at great altitudes. 

 Less valuable than L. anccp.i. Var. furfuracea, Rolfe 

 (Ij.furfurncca, Lindl.). This seems to be a dwarf alpine 

 form, with the ovary more scurfy and the petals 

 vmusually broatl. It is always found at great elevations,

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

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

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

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

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

 petals broatler, 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 lvs. antl in the absence of the fetid odor of L. 

 aiituniniilis. (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. 

 grandifldra, Reichb. L. aututnnalis x L. albida, Rolfe). 

 Natural hybrid. P.seudobulbs like those of L. grandi- 

 flora: lvs. 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 

 ro.sy crimson) ; sepals lance-oblong, acute; petals broadly 

 oblong 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 anil lvs. as in L. albida: scape few (2)-fld., long 

 as in L. anci-ps, 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, antror.se, rich purple at the 

 tips; middle lobe cuneate, abruptly blunt, lower half 

 rich purj)]!'; throat yellow, veined with purple, 3-kecled. 

 Acconling to Reichb., a hybrid between L. anceps{'!) 

 and Jj. aiiliimnalisC!) or L. albida and L. anceps. 

 .J.H. 111. 30:67; 54:27 (as L. anceps var. Crawshayana). ■
