a he Lindenia has already published in preceding volumes some distinct 
| and remarkable varieties of this magnificent species, and more recently 
i still the rich variety C. E. Treyeranae. 
The two forms figured in our present plate are equally deserving to be 
enumerated among the most beautiful which this species has produced. 
C. Eldorado Oweni is a superb form with white sepals and petals, and the lip 
also nearly entirely white, except the orange blotch in the throat, and a broad 
transverse band of bright rosy crimson across the front margin of the lip. 
This distinct variety was exhibited with great success at the horticul- 
tural meetings in Brussels and London on October 8th. and roth. 1893. A 
First-class Certificate of Merit was given by the Jury of the OrcHmEEnneE, and 
an Award of Merit by that of the Royal Horticultural Society. 
It is dedicated to G. D. Owen, Esq, of Rotherham, the possessor of the rich 
collection of which we have already had occasion to speak, and of which it now 
forms a part. 
C. Eldorado Lindent forms a curious and brilliant contrast with the preceding 
by the bright rose colour of its flowers. The petals, which are large and well 
displayed, are spotted with reddish purple at their extremities. The lip has the 
throat and disc deep yellow or light orange, while the anterior border bears a rich 
deep reddish purple blotch, extending nearly to the margins of the lateral lobes. 
C. Eldorado Lindent, like the preceding, was exhibited at the Meeting of the 
OrcHIDEENNE on October 8th., 1893, and was unanimously awarded a First-class 
Certificate of Merit.
