CATTLEYA. 161 



C. POWIAMA AUREA, Williams et Moore.— A very beautiful and distinct 

 form of C. Bowiana, differing from the type in its being devoid of crimson on 

 the sepals and petals, and in the lip having more yellow in it ; the sepals and 

 petals are primrose yellow, the lip rich velvety purple-crimson, distinctly veined 

 with golden yellow ; it flowers during the autumn, and lasts for a couple of 

 weeks in beauty. We have found this variety more free-flowering than C. 

 Bowiana.— TJ. 8. Oolomhia.

C. DOWIANA AUREA, YOUNG'S VAR., J. PRHiama.— We received this beau- 

 tiful and distinct variety from Reginald Young, Esq., Pringilla, Linnett Lane, 

 Liverpool. The flowers are medium in size and sweet-scented. Sepals and 

 petals bright yellow, the anterior portion of the lip rich velvety purple-crimson, 

 but not veined as in the type. This colour is carried round the outer margins 

 of the lip to its base. This, together with the crimson purple veins of the throat, 

 encircle two large orange-yellow areas, 1 inch long by \ inch broad, giving to 

 this variety a most distinct character. — Antioquia, U.S. Colombia.

C. DUKEANA, Rclib.f. — A natural hybrid which was found amongst a lot of 

 imported plants of C. Leopoldii. The sepals are light ochre-coloured outside, 

 inside mauve-purple. The petals are of the same colour, lighter at the borders. 

 The mid-lobe of the lip is a beautiful mauve-purple with a triangular sulphur- 

 yellow coloured area at the base and a narrow white border. Named in honour 

 of the late Dr. Duke, The Glen, Lewisham. — Brazil. 



C. EDITHIANA, Warner. — A splendid variety, in habit like C. Mossiae, and 

 growing a foot high, with dark green foliage. The flowers are very large, 

 measuring from six to seven inches in diameter ; the sepals and petals are light 

 mauve, and the lip also is mauve, striped with white, the discal part buff. The 

 flowers are produced in May and June, and remain in perfection three or four 

 weeks. The only example we have seen of this was in the collection of 

 E.. Warner, Esq., at Broomfield. — Brazil. 



C. ELATIOR. — See Cattleta guttata. 



C. ELDORADO, Linden. — This species is a very beautiful object, and a valu- 

 able addition to our Orchid collections. In growth it resembles C. quadricolor. 

 Its short clavate stems terminate in a solitary oblong-ligulate leaf and a two- 

 flowered peduncle, the flowers being remarkable for their somewhat narrow
