is greenish- white, distinctly lined with chocolate-brown ; the petals, which

C. SAUNDERSIANUM, HeM). f. — A cross between O. caudatum Warscewiczii 

 and 0. SMiinii, raised by Mr. Marshall, of Enfield, and named in honour of the 

 late W. Wilson Saunders, Esq. It is described by Reiohenbach as follows : — 

 " Upper sepal whitish with green and purple veins ; petals ligulate, acuminate, 

 undulate, pale purple ; lip spotted with purple on a white ground " {Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, n.s. 1886, xxvi. p. 654). — Garden hybrid. 



C. SAVAGEANUM, O'Brien. — This hybrid was raised by crossing C. Harris- 

 ianum with C. Spicerianum. " The foliage is veined, as in C. Harrisianum, but 

 the leaves are much shorter, and the veiuing closer. The dorsal sepal of the 

 flower is in form much as in C. Harrisianum, one-third of the outer surface 

 being snow-white, within which is a rose-coloured area, the base being emerald- 

 green, the dark line running up the centre is as in C. Spicerianum ; the petals 

 and pouch are in form near to those organs in C. Spicerianum, the petals tinged 

 with rose and having a dark and wpll-defined line up the middle of each. It is 

 a charming flower, and is named in honour of the grower of Mr. Kimball's 

 noted collection at Bochester, New York. The opposite cross resulted in 

 C. Seegerianum, iu which, in the resemblance to the parents, the features are 

 the opposite to C. Sarageanum" (J. O'Brien, in Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd ser., 

 1888, iv. p. 407). 



C. SCHLIMII, lAnden. — A very beautiful species, quite distinct from most 

 others in its style of growth, as well as in its flowers. The leaves are ligulate, 

 acute, 8 inches long, light green ; the flower stem is hairy, longer than the leaves, 

 branching, bearing as many as eight flowers, which are 2 inches across ; the 

 sepals and petals white, beautifully mottled and striped with dark rose, and the 

 lip white with a, large blotch of deep rose on the front of the pouch. This is a 

 difficult plant to cultivate. The imported plants appear as if they had been 

 growing beside streams of water which are subjected to being flooded, for the 

 leaves are frequently coated to a great extent with deposited mud ; and it would, 

 therefore, appear that our diflSculties with this plant have arisen chiefly from 

 an insufficient supply of water. We pot in peat, adding a little turfy loam and 

 sand, with good drainage, and take care that water does not lodge in the heart 

 of the plant. It is best grown at the cool end of the Cattleya house. — Colombia ; 

 Nevj Grenada : Ocana.

C. SCHLIMII ALBIFLORUM, Lemaire.—A. very pretty variety, differing from 

 the type in being more robust and free-growing in habit, with shorter leaves. 

 The flowers have the sepals and petals white dashed with delicate pink at the 

 base, and the lip is white suffused with rose, more deeply coloured opposite the 

 column, which is bright yellow. It flowers during the winter months. — Colombia.
