CATTLEYA SUAVIOR AQUINII. 
HE original Cattleya suavior (intermedia X Mendelii) was raised by 
Seden for Messrs. Veitch & Sons. The exact date of its first flowering 
is uncertain. The first published record appears to be in Veitch’s Orchid 
Manual, 1887, although in the annotated copy of this work used by Messts- 
Veitch, and now in the possession of the Editor of the Orchid Review, we 
learn that it was “ probably lost—destroyed.” A few years ago Messts. 
Stuart Low & Co. made several crosses with C. intermedia Aquinii, 2 
remarkable variety in which the petals bear on their outer area blotches of 
bright purple similar to that of the labellum : it is figured and described in 
the Orchid Review, vol. viii., p. 73. In one instance C. intermedia Aquinii was 
crossed with C. Mendelii plumosa, the latter also having a purple flush of 
colour on the tip of each petal, and of the resulting dozen hybrids that have 
so far flowered two have carried forward this particular colour characteristic- 
The best one, distinguished as Low’s variety, received an Award of Merit, 
R.H.S., March 27th, 1923, and was also exhibited in their group at the 
recent Ghent Exhibition. In the second example the petals bore a less 
prominent degree of colour, and had a cream-coloured band adjoining it oP 
the inner side, thus more nearly resembling the colour scheme of the labellum. 
The remaining plants all reverted to the typical type in which the petals bear 
no distinctive markings. Cattleya Dusseldorfei Aquinii has also been raised 
by Messrs. Stuart Low, and fully described last year (vol. xxx., p. 202)-
