Var. Treyerani. L. LIND., supra. 
he Lindenia has already figured several varieties of this beautiful species, 
one of the most useful and of the most variable in the genus. The wide 
range of these forms, however, is not nearly exhausted, and whilst 
Tanae our work to the most remarkable between them, we are yet in a state 
to offer the picture of several new varieties. 
The one we now figure is of a very distinct character, and deserves a 
prominent place in the species. In our opinion, it could even be considered 
a natural hybrid between C. Eldorado and C. chocoensis; its remarkably large 
petals, their particular habit, the pale rosy lilac colour of the petals and sepals, 
closely recall the latter species, while the petals are far more spreading and the 
flower has a better appearance. The lip, very large, is of the same rosy lilac 
colour as the other segments, and bears beyond the throat a rich orange-coloured 
spot, with darker streaks. 
This superb variety was exhibited at a meeting of L’ORcH1D#ENNE, of Brussels, 
on October 12 last, where it was awarded a First-class Certificate of merit. 
It is dedicated to Mrs. D. Treveran, the wife of the distinguished orchidist 
of Bordeaux, in whose collection it is now included.
