L. TRESEDERIANA, Bolfe. — A beautiful hybrid, between Cattleya (Laelia) 

 crispa and Cattleya Loddigesii, raised in the nurseries of Messrs. Heath & Son, 

 of Cheltenham. " The bulb is fusiform, and may be compared to that of Laelia 

 crispa. I have a pencil sketch before me, showing the sheaths still covering 

 the bulb. There are two leaves, 5 to 6 inches long by 2 inches broad, cuneate- 

 oblong, blunt acute; the peduncle is strong, and appears to have been two- 

 flowered ; the sepals and petals have the shape of those of Laelia crispa, but the 

 petals are far less wavy ; they are of an elegant light rose-colour ; lip cordate 

 at the very base, expanded, tri-lobed ; side lobes spreading, blunt, triangular, 

 much shorter than broad, triangular wavy mid-lobe is deep rose-coloured, 

 covered with dark purple reticulations ; the disk of the lip is light yellow, with 

 white margins on the side lobes ; there are some purple nerves on the basilar 

 disk ; column white ; two broad rows of purple spots extend in front of the 

 column under the fovea ; pollinia unequal " (H. G. Keichenbach, in Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, 3rd ser., 1888, iii. p. 136).
