L. CINNABARINA, Bateman. — A charming and distinct species, very compact 

 in growth. The pseudobulbs are stem-like elongated sub-cylindrical, but broadest 

 at the base, clothed with sheathing scales, and bearing one or two linear-oblong 

 acute leathery leaves ; the scape is terminal, erect, bearing a raceme of five or six 

 flowers, which are of a uniform reddish-orange colour, the sepals and petals narrow 

 lanceolate, the former about \\ inch long, longer than the convolute crisped lip. 

 It blooms in March, April, and May, lasting six weeks in beauty. This makes a 

 good plant for exhibition on account of its unusual and very distinct colour. — Brazil.

L. CRAWSHAYANA, Bchh.f. — An interesting plant, supposed to be a natural 

 hybrid, having ovate sulcate pseudobulbs as in L. albida, but somewhat flattened, 

 and bearing one or two leaves, which are also like those of that species ; the scape 

 is elongated, as in L. anceps, to which the flowers, two on the scape, bear some 

 resemblance, but the sepals and petals are narrower, and of a fine amethyst- 

 purple colour, the anterior lobe of the lip and the tips of the side lobes being of 

 a fine deep rosy -purple, with a white disk bearing three yellow crests, the throat 

 also is white striped with crimson-purple. This plant was first flowered by De 

 B. Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks ; it flowers in January. — Mexico. 



L. CRISPA — See Cattleya cbispa. 



L. CRISPILABIA, A. liMhard. — A very pretty plant, somewhat resembling 

 L. cinnaharina in habit, though very distinct in the colour of both the leaves 

 and flowers. It has slender pyriform pseudobulbs, tapering upwards like those 

 of L. cinnaharina, each bearing a solitary light green leaf, which is of ever- 

 green character, and from the side of which at the top of the pseudobulb grows 

 a scape 1 foot in length, bearing about half a dozen moderate-sized flowers, 

 which are of an amethyst or purple-lilac colour, the lip being deeper amethyst 

 and rolled over the column at the base, white in the centre portion, with tho 

 margin of the oblong acute reflexed middle lobe of a still deeper amethyst ; the 

 disk bears three crenulate keels. It succeeds very well when grown with other 

 kinds of Laelia, if afforded plenty of light, and never allowed to get perfectly dry ; 

 it grows about 1 foot high, bearing on its flower spikes four to six medium-sized 

 delicate purple flowers, which continue in perfection for several weeks. — Brazil.

L. DAYANA, Bclib. f. — A beautiful and distinct dwarf compact growing 

 species, very valuable on account of its winter-flowering propensity. It is of 

 dwarf habit, growing about 6 inches in height, with clustered oblong somewhat 

 clavate monophyllous stems, the leaves elliptic-oblong, fleshy coriaceous, and 

 the scape terminal one-flowered. It is a small grower, in the way of L. praestans, 

 the flowers nearly 4 inches across, the sepals and petals rosy,' the lip rich purple-
