breaking up into radiating lines towards the apex of the front lobe, which 

 is lilac in colour and minutely demiculate. The face of the column is lined 

 and dotted with purple. The plant is rather dwarf, and produces both 

 monophyllous and diphyllous pseudobulbs. It flowered for the first 

 time in igoi. 



Cattleya X leucothoe. — A new hybrid from C. granulosa 2 and 

 C. Walkeriana $ , raised by Mr. E. O. Orpet, S. Lancaster, Mass., and 

 described by him in American Gardening for August gth (page 513), as 

 follows : — Habit of plant, intermediate ; scape, four to several flowered, as 

 in C. granulosa; flowers smaller than either parent, expanding & inches 

 and very fragrant ; dorsal sepal ligulate, coriaceous, 2^-in. long, f-in. 

 broad; lateral sepals if-in. long, f-in. broad, oblong-obtuse, curved 

 downward ; petals i|-in, long, |-in. broad, obovate-spatulate, undulate ; all

Cattleya X mollis var. spectabilis (C. Gaskelliana virginalis 2 

 X C. superba splendens <y ) is also described by Mr. Orpet on the same 

 page. It is said to favour the seed parent, except that the pseudobulbs are 

 more slender and occasionally diphyllous. Sepals and petals broad, the

TWO NEW EPILJELIAS. 



In a recent account of Sir Trevor Lawrence's fine collection at Burford, 

 Dorking, (Gard. Chron., 1902, xxxii, p. 112), reference is made to two

 fucatum, is also singular." It would be interesting to know more about
