CATTLEYA. 191 



C. TRIANAE SCHRODERAE, i?cM./.— This distinct and lovely Catlleya is 

 doubtless a geogi-apliioal form. Prof. Beichenbach says "its perfume is very 

 exquisite." This we can fully endorse ; on every occasion we have met with the 

 plant in flower, its perfume has attracted our attention. " You may easily 

 distinguish it from genuine Trianae, whose shape it has, by the extraordinary 

 crispation of both petals and lip ; then by that well known orange area of the 

 lip which sends a retrorse angle to the superior part of the lip, being unusually 

 high and reaching far more towards the apex of the lip." The colour appears 

 to vary from pure white through various shades of rose to light purple. 

 Named in honour of the Baroness Schroder, the wife of one of our most 

 distinguished orchidophilcs. Flowers in A^^ril.

C. TRIANAE VANNERIANA, Rchl. /.—"A very fine Cattleya Trianae, of good 

 colour (light rose) ; lateral lobes of the lip light rose, disk and anterior two- 

 shanked process orange, top of lip fine purple ; each lateral sepal bears from 

 the base to near the top a broad orange-coloured stripe, and this is the 

 characteristic mark. It was kindly sent by and is inscribed to my excellent 

 correspondent, W. Vanner, Esq., Camden "Wood, Chislehurst." — (Professor 

 Beichenbach in Gardeners' Chronicle, 1886, n.s. xxv. p. 331). 



C. TRIANAE WILLIAIVISII, Moore.— One of the most distinct forms of this

 veined with rosy magenta, especially towards the centre ; lip nicely fringed, of 

 an intense crimson-purple. This [colour commences from the edge of the lip,
