 occurs, notably so with L. purpiirata, Perrinii and 

 albida, and pure white varieties are known in many of 

 the rarer species. Henkt T. Clikkaeerrt. 



LaiLIOCATTLfiYA. A name proposed by R. A. Rolfe 

 to designate the bigeneric hybrids of LEelia and of 

 Cattleya, which readily hybridize. The species of the 

 two genera have 8 and 4 pollen masses respectively, 

 while the hybrids are irregular in this respect. Many 

 of the plants are natural hybrids, and many others 

 have been produced by artificial crossing. For a list of 

 Lasliocattleyas, see Rolfe in G. C. III. 6:78, 155. In 

 the following account L=La9lia ; IjC=Laeliocattleya ; 

 C=CattIeya. 



H. T. Clinkaberry writes that the cultivation of Lselio- 

 cattleyas is the same as for Laelia and Cattleya. It is 

 therefore important to know the parentage in each case, 

 from which one may know whether warm or coolhouse 

 treatment is needed. He adds that many Lseliocattleyas 

 are of such a vigorous constitution that they are nearly 

 always in growth.
