CATTLEYA. 183 



C. PUMILA, Hooker.— A charming free-blooming species with very short 

 oblong stems, about six inches high, bearing a solitary oblong-lanceolate leaf, 

 and flowering in September, remaining for three or four weeks in perfection, 

 The blossoms are proportionately large, deep purplish lilac with a purplish 

 crimson lip, often edged with white. It is similar to C. marginata in its habit 

 of growth. This plant succeeds best in the cool-house. — Brazil.

C. QUADRICOLOR, Lindley. — -A very rare and pretty species, which grows 

 about ten inches high, and produces its blossoms on the young growths in May 

 and June. The stems are narrow compressed monophyllous, the leaves strap- 

 shaped, and the charming ilowers have the sepals and petals light rose and the 

 lip rosy crimson edged with white, the throat yellow. There are two varieties 

 of this plant in cultivation. — JVeiu Grenada.

C. QUINQUECOLOR, iforf.— This pretty variety is the result of a cross 

 between C. Aclandiae and U. Forhesii. The sepals and petals are light olive 

 green spotted with brown and dark chocolate ; the lip is carmine-rose veined 

 with deeper rose, and having an elongated bar of yellow on the disk. — Garden 

 hybrid.

C. REGNELLI. — See Cattleta Scuilleriana Eegnelli. 



C. RESPLENDENS, Mclib. f. — The growth of this plant somewhat resembles 

 that of C. granulosa, and the flowers those of C. Scliilleruina. The dull olive- 

 brown sepals and petals are spotted with purple, as in 0. guttata Leopoldii ; 

 the lip is white with warm amethyst keels and small warts of the same colour ; 

 its cuneate bilobed stalked mid-lacinia has numerous rough warts in the central 

 part, and many keels on the lateral parts, which are externally tooihed, and its 

 side laciniae are much developed and ver}- acuminate. This is supposed to be 

 a natural mule between C. granulosa and C Schilleriana. — Bradl. 



C. REX, O'Brien. — This novelty has been imported by the Horticulture 

 Internationale of Brussels, and is said to be a very distinct and beautiful Cattleya. 

 We have not seen the plant in flower, so give the original description in the 

 Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd series, 1890, viii. p. 684 : " The sepals are three and 

 a half inches long and three-quarters of an inch in width, white tinged with 

 primrose yellow, petals ovate, three and a half inches in length, two and a half 

 inches in width, creamy white, the edges wavy and slightly notched ; the lip, 

 which is obscurely three-lobed, is a wonderful piece of colouring, the convolute 

 side lobes forming the tube which falls over the pure white column are creamy 

 white on the edges and yellow streaked with red beneath the interior of the 

 tube, and the upper part of the front lobe are of the richest crimson veined in
