-sepals and petals rosy lilac, and the lip of a rich maroon-claret tint, 

 becoming reddish in the centre. 



W. A. Bilney, Esq., Fir Grange, Weybridge, showed a good dark form 

 of Cattleya X Hardyana, remarkable for showing the eye-like patches on 

 the lip so characteristic in C. Warscewiczii, with very little of the yellow

Sir William Marriott, Down House, Blandford (gr. Mr. Denny), sent 

 the pretty Disa X Diores (D. X Veitchii X grandiflora).
