[ees] wetia JONGHEANA AND VAR. ASHWORTHIA. as 
ELIA Jongheana is a dwarf Brazilian species, a native of the Province 
of Minas Geraes, differing from L. Dayana, its nearest ally, by its 
much larger flowers, and by the elongated, tubular lip, with deep orange 
throat bearing a number of fringed keels. Its history has already been 
given (O.R., iv. p. 278), and the annexed figure represents a plant 
which flowered in the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury. 
Fig. 26. La&LiA JONGHEANA. 
The species was long very rare, but some years ago Messrs. Sander & Sons 
obtained an importation, in which a beautiful albino appeared. It flowered 
in the collection of E. Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmslow, and 
received a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. in April, 1gor (O.R., ix. 
Pp. 153). The plant still flourishes, and Mr. Ashworth sends us a flower of 
it. The colour may be described as silver white, with the throat of the lip 
orange. Mr. Ashworth asks if another plant of it is known.
