which occur. No specimens are known agreeing with the figure, which 
we suspect is an exaggeration. 
L. bicolor var. glaucophylla, Hook (Bot. Mag., t. 4734), which was sent — 
to Woburn from the Organ Mountains by Gardner, and flowered in 1839, 
and L. glaucophylla Hoffmnsg. (Bot. Zeit., i., p. 833), are very similar in 
the colour of the flower, and probably represent L. serrulata, which is 
scarcely more than a variety of L. bicolor. 
L. TENuIs, Rchb. f. (Hamb. Gartenz., xxi., p. 296), flowered in the 
collection of J. Day, Esq., of Tottenham, in 1865. It was sent from Brazil 
to Messrs. Hugh Low & Co. by Blunt. The sepals and petals are 
described as yellowish, and the lip white with a dark violet blotch, but it is 
doubtful if it is more than a variety of L. bicolor. 
L. uNICOLOR, Rodr. (Gen. et. Sp. Orch. nov., i., p. 74), is a pretty little 
species not yet in cultivation, in which the segments of the flower are 
uniformly pale pink, the racemes being two-flowered and pendulous. 
L. PARANENSIS, Rodr. (1. c., ii., p. 163), has solitary flowers, and 
a narrower, more acute lip than the preceding, which it otherwise much 
resembles. It also is not in cultivation. 
L. minuta Rolfe (Gard. Chron., 1889, ii-, p. 223), is a remarkable little 
species about two inches high, which appeared with Messrs. James Veitch 
& Sons. The flowers are correspondingly small, white with the exception 
ofa rosy purple disc to the front lobe of the lip, and solitary. It is probably 
Brazilian, like the rest of the genus. 
It would be very interesting if someone would get together all the forms 
of this singular little genus and cultivate them side by side, and thus prove 
how far one or two of the above are really distinct. The difficulty would 
be how to obtain several of them.

The peculiarity of this remarkable and very handsome variety is that the 
front lobe of the lip is so completely saturated with dark amethyst-purple 
as to obliterate the yellow eyes in the throat, so characteristic of the species. 
It flowered with Messrs. James Backhouse & Son, of York, in June, 1892. 
The sepals and petals are also bright rosy-lilac of a shade rather darker 
than usual. A similar form was exhibited at the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s meeting on June 25th, from the collection of Lord Rothschild, at 
Tring Park, and received an Award of Merit. Whether it is from the same 
source or otherwise we have no information, but at all events it has the 
same peculiarity, which is aptly described by the above varietal name. It 
is analagous with C. Trianz Arkleana (supra, p. 103), each representing the 
extreme limit of variation in the depth and richness of colour of their 
respective species, in both cases the yellow blotches being obliterated.
