 C. Percivaliana (RM. /.). — A distinct and beautiful species 

 of medium size, and not unlike a small C. Mossia in general 

 characters. The colour of the (lowers is, however, deeper, and 

 the hp is exceptionally richly marked, being crimson shaded with 

 maroon, rich yellow in the throat, and thickly veined with red 

 and purple. The beauty of the markings on the lip cannot be 

 easily described in words. The flowers are developed in mid- 

 winter. There are several named forms of it, which differ from 

 the type in the markings of the lip and the shade of purple in 

 the sepals and petals. Venezuela, 1882. Sometimes referred 

 to as a variety of C. labiata. 



C. Pinellii {Li/idl.). — A synonym of Lalia piimila prastaiis. 



C. quadricolor {Batem.). —A synonym of C. Trianai. 



C. Regnelli ( ffrt/-;/.). — A synonym of C. Schilhriana. 



C. Rex (0'i?/-/t'/z),-— This is a very fine Cattleya of the lahiata 

 group, and probably referable to C. aurea. Sepals and petals 

 var}'ing from creamy white to yellow ; lip crimson, veined with 

 yellow, shaded white and yellow, and fringed with white. 



C. Schilleriana (Rchb. /.). — This resembles C. Aclandice in 

 its habit of growth, but the pseudo-bulbs are more robust, the 

 texture of its leaves is more leathery, and they are reddish on 

 the under side. The flowers are large, measuring between 3in. 

 and 4in. in diameter, and are borne upon an erect scape, which 

 is three- to five-flowered. The sepals and petals are olive-green, 

 and more or less spotted with rosy-purple. The lip is large and 

 spreading, the ground-colour being deep amethyst, tinged with 

 rosy-purple ; this is set off by a neat marginal border of white, 

 whilst the throat is stained with yellow. It flowers both in 

 early summer and in the middle of the autumn. It is a native 

 of Brazil, whence it was introduced in 1857, and flowered in the 

 collection of Consul Schiller, at Hamburg. It is sometimes 

 known by the name of C. Regnelli. (B. M., t, 5150, var. 

 concolor. ) 



C. Schofieldiana {Rchb. /.).~A synonym of C. granulosa 

 Schofieldiana. 



C. Schroederae {Sander).— 'Ih-is was for many years con 

 sidered only as a variety of C. Trianm, and the characteristics 

 are very similar. The typical flowers are usually wholly rosy- 

 lilac, excepting the orange-yellow through the basal centre of 

 the lip, and hawthorn-scented. They are most attractive, and 

 are produced immediately after C. Triajiai has finished in the 

 spring. This species varies somewhat, and pure white varieties
