No. 1152, 
CATTLEYA FORBESII. 
Class, Order. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This is à native of Rio de Janeiro, and 
was first discovered by the late Mr. Forbes, 
who sent it home to the Horticultural So- 
ciety. We received our plant direct from 
Rio, whence it was procured for us by our 
friend, Mr. Duval. 
It requires the stove, and should be 
tted in saw-dust, sand, and moss, with 
which latter article the surface should 
afterwards be covered. 
Itis very seldom that it admits of any 
increase by separating the roots.
