ttite of pubescence. From Hudson's Bay, by W. Williams," Esq., to the 

 Horticultural Society, in 1824. — Cattleya crispa {fig. 106.); OrchidcEe. 

 A splendid epiphyte, sent from Rio 

 Janeiro, by Sir Henry Chamber- 

 layne, Bart., to the Horticultural 

 Society, in 1826, and flowered in 

 August, 1827. It is very distinct 

 from all other species of Cattleya, 

 in colour, and in the form of the 

 labellum, and other segments of the 

 flower. Leaf solitary, seated on a 

 subcylindrical angular bulb, oblong- 

 lanceolate, emarginate. Spike of 

 four or five flowers, from the axilla 

 of the leaf. Segments of the peri- 

 anthium white, the outer linear- 

 lanceolate, unguiculate, narrower 

 than the inner, which are wavy, and 

 curled at the edges. Labellum acu- 

 minate, deep purple inside, with an ^ 

 exceedingly curled mai'gin." Grows ^ 

 freely in decayed vegetable mould. 

 The specific name is given in com- 

 pliment to W. Cattley,Esq., of Bar- 

 net, in Hertfordshire, who at one time was a great patron of botany, and had 

 a collection of very valuable hot-house plants.
