Catasetum Bungerothi var. aurantiacum Coan. supra. 
ince the first appearance of Catasetum Bungerothi, introduced eight 
years ago, the superior merit of this beautiful species has been acknow-~ 
ledged by all the horticultural journals, and the number of pictures of it 
which were published since that time, and are enumerated above, affords a 
clear proof of the interest caused by this wonderful novelty. Shortly afterwards, 
some remarkable varieties were also discovered, of which two have been published 
in the present work, namely var. Pottsianum (pl. 104) and var. aureum (pl. 116). 
The new variety awrantiacum, figured in the annexed plate, is in no way 
inferior to the preceeding ones. This splendid variety was introduced by L’Hor- 
TICULTURE INTERNATIONALE, from the same locality as the type; it was one of the 
most admired in the group of Catasetum exhibited with great success at a 
meeting at London on November 13" last, and received separately an award 
of merit. 
Dés l’apparition du Catasetum Bungerothi, il y a huit ans, tous les journaux 
horticoles ont été unanimes a vanter le mérite vraiment supérieur de ce charmant 
Catasetum : il venait modifier complétement les idées que l’on se faisait alors 
sur les espéces de ce genre, considérées antérieurement comme peu dignes 
d’attention au point de vue ornemental. La preuve évidente du haut intérét qu’il 
_ excita résulte du grand nombre de figures qui en ont été données depuis cette 
époque, figures dont on trouvera l’énumération dans la bibliographie donnée
