46 phat,.t:nopsis. 



sparingly amongst importations by different horticultural firms, the 

 flowers showing some trifling deviation in colour from the first 

 described forms, such as usually happens among hybrids, whether 

 naturally or artificially raised. The finest specimen of P. intermedia 

 we have yet seen is in the collection of the Right Honourable Lord 

 Rothschild, at Tring Park. 



As already stated Phaheno})siit intermedia has been raised artificially 

 by Seden, from P. Aphrodite and P. rosea ; the plant raised from 

 them flowered for the first time in our Chelsea nursery in the 

 spring of 1 886. 



P. leucorhoda. 



A supposed natural hybrid between PhaJienopsis Aphrodite and P. 



ISchilleriana. Leaves sometimes wholly green as in the first-named 



species, sometimes freckled with grey, but not so much as in P. 



Schiller /ana, the grey frequently disappearing with age. Flowers as 



large as those of P. Aphrodite ; sepals and petals white, more or 



less stained with rose-purple on the basal half; lip nearly as in P. 



Schilleriana, with the apical tendrils of P. Aphrodite, but somewhat 



shorter ; the side lobes white spotted with red and Avith a yellow 



stain at the front margin ; the front lobe white with a yellow stain 



at the base.

var.— casta. 



Sepals white, the dorsal one with a light purple stain at the base, 



the lateral two with a light yellow stain spotted with red at the 



base ; petals wholly white ; all the lobes of the lip white with a 



yellow stain spotted with red at the base like the lateral sepals, but 



brighter ; the front lobe, as in Phal(e?iopsis Aphrodite, with the basal 



angles less acute and with the apical tendrils broader and shorter.

var.— Cynthia. 



Leaves as in Phcdcenopsis Schilleriana ; sepals and petals white 



flushed with light rose-purple towards the base, the lateral sepals dotted 



with red on the inner basal half ; the side lobes of the lip nearly 



as in P. Ajdirodite, white spotted with purple on the basal half; the 



front lobe nearly as in P. Schilleriana, Avith short, anchor-shajjed 



apical appendages, white with a yellow stam at the base, spotted and 



marked with purple.
