petalis pallide roseo suffusis, labello pallide roseo, 
72g his beautiful variety first appeared last season in the establishment of 
XU Messrs. Lucien Linpen and Co. at Moortebeek, near Brussels, among 
ty some importations which had been received the previous year. It was 
shown at a Meeting of the OrcuIDEENNE on January ro, and received a First Class 
Certificate of merit. 
It is remarkable for the great size of its flowers and the vivid contrast of 
colour which they display. The very broad, almost round petals, which have very 
wavy edges, are a pale rose colour, while the sepals are pure white. The lip has 
a pale rose tube, somewhat more highly coloured at the edges, and exhibits a 
broad carmine-purple red blotch on the anterior lobe bordered in front with 
a thin white band, while the yellow disc is surrounded by a white zone at the 
opening of the tube. On the whole this is one of the most perfect forms of 
C. Trianae in cultivation.
