A flower of a very beautiful hybrid from Cattleya X Gaskelliana ? and 
Lelia purpurata 9 is sent by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans. The 
sepals and petals are light mauve-purple in colour, the latter being two 
inches broad, and the front of the lip is of a rich amethyst purple, with a 
broad mauve-purple margin, the back of the lip being of the latter colour 
with some deep yellow in the throat. It is a variety of the one known as 
Lelio-cattleya x C. G. Roebling, and the plant which produced it is now 
flowering for the first time. 
A flower of a very pretty form of Cattleya citrina comes from the collection 
of F. H. Moore, Esq., Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, in which the whole front 
lobe of the lip is deep orange colour, like the crest. The plant bears two 
flowers, which are normal in other respects. 
A flower of the handsome Cattleya Mossiz called Rappart’s variety, to 
which a First-class Certificate was awarded at the meeting of the Manchester 
and North of England Orchid Society on June 3rd, and another by the 
Manchester Royal Botanical and Horticultural Society on the following day, 
is sent from the collection of D. B. Rappart, Esq., of Liscard. The flower 
opened white with the exception of some pretty lilac pencilling on the
