 — Grows on bare rocks and stuntptl tre^^ in most ex- 

 posed situations, often at great allifn'l.'^, I,i-is valu- 

 able than L. anceps. Var. furfuracea, lo.lir ( /y. fur- 

 furdcea, Lindl.). This seems to In- a .l\\ai t al|iin.' form, 

 with the ovary more scurfy ami tlio p. taK 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, Backhouse. 

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

 darker toward the ends of the segments and the label-

5. Amoldiina, Manda. Pseudobulbs 4-6 in. long, pyri- 

 form, deeply furcate, 2 Ivd.: lvs. 5-7 in. long, leathery, 

 lanceolate, thick and dark green: scape 1-4 ft. long, 

 3-Il-fld.: sepals oblong -lanceolate, pointed; petals 

 broader, ovate, all somewhat reflexed, rose-colored; 

 middle lobe of the labellum reflexed, deep rose-purple, 

 paler towards 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. 

 and in the absence of the fetid odor of L. autumnalis 

 (W. A. Manda). Mex. A.P. 5:303.-Var. FdrBtermannii, 

 Hort. Identical with the type, but has pure white fls., 

 with a tinge of delicate pink on the ends of the seg- 

 ments (W. A. Manda). 



6. Eyermanni^na, Reichb. f. Natural hybrid. Pseudo- 

 bulbs like those of L. grandiflora: lvs. oblong, acute, 

 very leathery, 6 in. long and 2 in. broad: racemes bear- 

 ing 3-4 fls. "up to 4 in. across (as large as those of L. 

 Gouldiana, but smaller than L. autumnalis), rose-pur- 

 ple (white suffused with bright rosy crimson); sepals 

 lance-oblong, acute; petals broadly oblong or almost 

 rotund, obtu.se; side lobes of the labellum oblong; mid- 

 dle lobe rounded, wavy, white bordered with rose and 

 having 3 yellow keels on the disk fading to whitish on 

 the blade, L. autumnalis x L. grandiflora, Reichb. L. 

 autumnalis x L. albida, Rolfe. G.C. III. 4:109. 



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

 bulbs and lvs. 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 £. anceps (/) and 

 autumnalis('f) or albida and anceps. .J. H. III. 30:67 (as 

 L. anceps,vsiT. Crawshayana). The plant there figured 

 is probably the species in question, although, according 

 to the figure and the accompanying description, the se- 

 pals and petals are wider than those of L. anceps. 



8. Gouldiilna, Reichb. f. Pseudobulbs ovate, 2-lvd.: 

 lvs. oblong-linear: scape slender, 1-2 ft. long, bearing 

 as many as 6 deep rose-purple fls. resembling those
