CATTLEYA. 193 



C. WALKERIANA, Gardner. — A truly elegant dwarf species, with bulb-like 

 stems about four inches high, bearing an oblong-elliptic obtuse leathery leaf , 

 and large rose-coloured flowers ; the lip is of a richer rose than the other 

 parts, and has a slight tinge of yellow. There are generally two flowers pro- 

 duced on a spike, each measuring five inches across, the flowers being produced 

 during the winter on distinct slender stems, which are either leafless or bear 

 only rudimentary leaves ; the blossoms last four or five weeks in beauty, which is 

 longer than in the case of any other Cattleyja, besides which they are sweet- 

 scented, and will fill the house with their perfume. We always grow this plant 

 suspended from the roof, in a place where there is plenty of light, but not too 

 much sun, on a block of wood, surrounded by a little sphagnum jnosa.— Brazil.

Stn. — Cattleya bulbosa. 



C. WALLISII — See Cattleya Eldorado virginalis. 



C. WARNERI, Moore. — One of the finest of all Oattleyas, and belonging to the 

 Jahiaia section, resembling that species in its manner of growth, and producing 

 blossoms equal to it in size. It is a very useful species for summer exhibitions. 

 The flowers are large, more than 6 inches across, the sepals and petals of a 

 beautiful rose, the lip large, of a rich crimson, and finely fringed. This rare 

 plant was first flowered many years ago in the rich collection of R. Warner, Esq., 

 and we thought it the finest and most magnificent Gattleya that had ever come 

 under our notice ; there are, however, many fine varieties of this type. The true 

 and original form is that figured in Mr. Warner's handsome work on Orchids. —

C. WARSCEWICZII, Echb.f. — A magnificent species which grows about a 

 foot high, and has light green foliage, in the way of C. Trianae. The flowers 

 are large ; sepals and petals purplish white ; lip rich crimson. Of this there 

 are also many varieties; it blossoms during the winter months, and continues 

 three or four weeks in perfection. — New Grenada. 



Fig. — Xenia Orcli., i. t. 31. 



C. WARSCEWICZII DELICATA, JfcToore.— A magnificent variety in the way of 

 0. Trio, nae, but still very distinct. It grows about a foot high, and bears blossoms 

 six inches across ; sepals and petals white ; lip large, with a beautiful yellow 

 centre and tinge of rose, white on the outside ; it blooms in December and 

 January, and is very useful during winter, continuing in perfection three or four 

 weeks. This appears to be the same as the plant figured by Mr. Moore in 1861, 

 in the Floral Magazine, under the name of Gattleya Bollissoni. — Brazil.
