L. MAYNARDII, Hort. — This hybrid was raised by Mr. Maynard in the 

 establishment of Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, and is a cross between 

 Laelia Dayana and Gattleya dolosa. " The plant has the dwarf habit of 

 Laelia Darjana, but the flowers are larger than in that species, the labellum 

 being expanded as in Gattleya dolosa and not enclosing the column ; the sepals 

 and petals are of a rosy -lilac tint, the labellum bright purplish-crimson ; the 

 column white with a purple cap. The form of the labellum is attractive, and 

 the colouring effective " (Gardeners' Ghronicle, 3rd ser., 1893, xiii. p. 724). — Garden 

 hybrid.

Syn. — Laelia Maynardii. 



L. NORMANNI, Krdnzlin. — One of the many crosses emanating from 

 Laelia pumila marginata on the one hand, and Gattleya Dowiana on the other. 

 Dr. Kriinzlin describes it thus : — " The differences between Laelia- Gattleya 

 Ingramii and this new hybrid are, of course, only slight, but we may observe 

 that the petals are more rhombic instead of ovate as in Laelio- Gattleya Ingramii, 

 and that the middle lobe of the lip is flatter and more plaited than in this 

 variety. The colour of the sepals is a very tender rosy-purple, whilst the 

 petals are somewhat darker ; the lip is pale purple in the middle, with a very 

 broad purplish-mauve margin on the side lobes, an anterior or middle lobe of 

 the same colour ; the whole discus or middle part of the lip is beautifully 

 veined ; the column is white, and has the three little teeth peculiar to Laelia 

 pumila. As there are eight pollen masses (four greater and four smaller ones) 

 the plant is, botanically speaking, a true Laelia ; also the bulbs and leaves are 

 more in the way of a Laelia than Gattleya-\\ke" [Gardeners' Ghronicle, 3rd ser., 

 1893, xiii. p. 98). It was raised by N. C. Cookson, Esq., of Wylam-on-Tyne.— 

 Garden hybrid. 



L. PACHYSTELE, Jio//e.— This is described by the late Prof. Eeichenbaoh 

 as follows :— " The flowers are equal to those of a rather good Laelia elegans; the 

 petals are broader than the sepals, and wavy, wholly light rose ; the lip is very 

 narrow ; side laciniae long, narrow, nearly rectangular, white, with light purple 

 borders, broadest on the projecting angles; mid-line of the disk with a purple 

 line from the base of the mid lacinia to the base of the lip, then divided into 

 two shanks ; mid lacinia narrow, oblong, acute, projected, rose, with darker 

 purple veins, which looks exceedingly pretty, and which gives a peculiar aspect 

 to the plant ; column very plump, with purple on the back, and with two broad 

 ligulate marks running from the stigma to the base ; pollinia very unequal " 

 {Gardeners' Ghronicle, 3rd ser., 1888, iv. p. 596). It flowered in the collection of 

 K. H. Measures, Esq., of Streatham.— JVaiit'e country not stated.
