 scape 1 ft., erect, bearin^^ 4-8 bright yellow Us. 2-2 fi iu. 

 in diameter: sepals and petals spreading, oblong-lanceu- 

 late, obtuse or subacute; labellum not longer than the 

 petals ; middle lobe recurved, cri.sped aud undulate, 

 having 4 elevated ridges running down the center; lat- 

 eral lobes obtuse. Autumn. Braz. B.R. 28:02.

 sepals; middle lobe of the labellum large, expanded, 

 emarginate, center white, shading to lilac at the mar- 

 gin, spotted with dark lilac; side lobes small, white in- 

 side, streaked with lilac. May, June. Mex. B.M. 5G(.l7.

3. ilbida, Batem. Lvs. lance-linear, acute : scape 

 twice as loQg as the lvs.: Hs. 2 in. across, pure, trans- 

 parent white except a yellow streak down the lip and a 

 few crimson dots at its base, sweet-scented; sepals 

 lanceolate, spreading ; petals similar but broader, all 

 very acute; labellum 3-lobed; side lobes small, erect; 

 middle lobe large, round-ovate, reflesed. All autumn 

 and winter. Oasaca, Mes. B.M. 3957. B.R. 25:54. Gn. 

 35:695. — The first white-flowered species discovered. 



Var. sulphiirea, Reichb. f. Larger: fls. sulfur-yellow. 

 with a rose-colored liorder on the middle lobe, aud rose 

 spots on the inner surface of the side lobes. Var. b611a, 

 Hort., ex- Williams, not Reichb. f. Fls. larger than the 

 type; sepals and petals creamy white, faintly bordered 

 with lilac; lip white, the middle lobe broadly bordered 

 with deep rose and haviag three yellow ridges down 

 the center. Var. rdaea, Hort. Pis. rose-colored. Var. 

 majus is advertised. 



4. autumnalis, Lindl. Lvs. oblong-linear, obtuse, cori- 

 aceous, 5 in. long: scape 15-2-2 ft. long, 5-(3-fid., with 

 sheathing scales: lis. showy, fragrant; sepals lanceolate- 

 acuminate; petals oblong-lanceolate, undulate; lateral 

 lobes of the labellum large, erect, rotund-truncate, whit- 

 ish; middle lobe obovate, obtuse, apiculate, recurved, 

 deep purple; disk with two narrow yellow lamellae. In 

 color and general appearance much like L. anceps, hut 

 the segments lack the green ribs. Autumn. Mex. B.M. 

 3817. B.R.25:27. I.H. 1:17. P.M. 6:121. G.C. 1872:1009. 

 — Grows on bare rocks and stunted trees in most ex- 

 posed situations, often at great altitudes. Less valu- 

 able than L. <fnceps. Var. furfur^cea, Rolfe {L. fur- 

 I'nrdrea. Lindl.}. This seems to be a dwarf alpine form, 

 with the ovary nu>re scurfy and the petals unusually 

 broad. It is always found at great elevations, occurring 

 frequently at 7,500-8,500 ft. Intermediate forms exist^. 

 B.M. 3810. B.R. 25:2(1. Var. atrbrubens, Backhouse. 

 Pseudobulbs sliort : fls. large, deep rose or magenta, 

 darker toward the ends of the segments and the label- 

 lum; base of the Inbcllum and lateral lobes white. Gn. 

 17:229. Var. veniista, Hort. Goldring. In habit resem- 

 bles var. atrorabois: stalk 2-3 ft. : fls. large, rosy mauve. 

 Gn. 25:438. Var. Fournieri, Ed. Andre. Fls. about 6-7 

 in. across; sepals revolute at the summit, .purple-red; 

 petals rhomboid, of the same color, all paler toward the 

 base; labellum white, with the middle Iol)e colored like 

 the segments. Luri^rer than var. atroruhens. R. H. 

 1896:548. Var. dlba, Hort. Fls. pure white. 



5. Amoldiana, Manda. Pseudobulbs 4-6 in. long, pyri- 

 form, deeply fun-ate, 2 Ivd.: lvs. 5-7 in. long, leathery, 

 lanceolate, thick and dark green: scape 1—1 ft. long, 

 3-U-tid.: sepals oblong -lanceolate, pointed; petals 

 broader, ovate, all somewhat reflexed, rose-colored; 

 middle lobe of the labellum reflexed, deep rose-purple, 

 paler towards the center; throat with 2 yellow keels, 

 spotted purple; lateral lobes straight, pale rose or white. 

 A species closely related to L. autuitinalis, from which 

 it differs in having bulbs growing erect and rigid lvs. 

 and in the absence of the fetid odor of L. autumnalis 

 (W. A. Manda). Mex. A.F. 5:303.- Var. Forstermamiii, 

 Hort. Identical with the type, but has pure white fls., 

 with a tinge of delicate pink on the ends of the seg- 

 ments (W."A. Manda). 



6. Eyermauniina, Reichb. f. Natural hybrid. Pseudo- 

 bulbs like Ihose of L. grandiflora: lvs. oblong, acute, 

 very leathery, 6 in. long and 2 in. broad: racemes bear- 

 ing 3-4 fls. up to 4 in. across (as large as those of L. 

 Oontdiana , but smaller than L. autumnalis) , rose-pur- 

 ple (white suffused with bright rosy crimson); sepals 

 lance-oblong, acute; petals broadly oblong or almost 

 rotund, obtuse; side lobes of the labellum oblong; mid- 

 dle lobe rounded, wavy, white bordered with rose and 

 havinti: 3 yellow keels on the di.sk fading to whitish on 

 the blade, L. autumnalis x L. grandiflora, R-^ichb. L. 

 aufuinnalis x L. albida, Rolfe. G.C. III. 4:109. 



7. CrawshayS-na, Reichb. f. Natural hybrid. Pseudo- 

 bulbs and lvs. as in L. albida: scape few-f2}-ffd., long 

 as in L. anceps, but thinner and with shorter, narrower 

 sheaths: sepals and petals narrower than in L. anceps, 

 of a tine amethyst color ; labellum open near the column ; 

 side lobes obtuse angled, antrorse, rich purple at the 

 tips; middle lobe cnneate. abruptly blunt, lower half 

 rich purple; tlroat yellow, veined with purple, 3-keeled. 

 According to Reichb., a hybrid between L. anceps(n and 

 autamnalis{i' ) or albida and anceps. J.H. ill. 30:67 (as 

 L. anceps,yciv. Crawshayana). The plant there figured 

 is probably the species in question, although, according 

 to the figure and the accompanying description, the se- 

 pals and petals are wider than those of L. anceps. 



8. Gouldiana, Reichb. f. Pseudobulbs ovate, 2-lvd. : 

 lvs. oblong-linear: scape slender, 1-2 ft. long, bearing 

 as many as 6 deep rose-purple fls. resembling those
