376 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [DECEMBER, I9QIT. 
SPECIMEN OF CATTLEYA LABIATA.—We have received from Mr. W. A. 
Manda, South Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A., a photograph of what is con- 
sidered to be the largest and finest Cattleya labiata in cultivation. It was 
imported two years ago, and consists of one mass, which this year has 
produced 146 flowers, the majority of them with four or five on a spike. 
The flowers are said to be very fine, and of deep, rich colour. The plant 
was photographed as it stood at the end of a twenty foot greenhouse, and 
the spread of the flowers is about six feet. The plant is in a perfectly 
natural condition, the flowers not having been tied up in any way, and it 
forms an exceptionally handsome specimen.
