are short, very broad, and of a rich rose-purple, and the lip is of the deepest 
crimson-purple, which colour extends round the side lobes to near the base. 
On either side of the throat is a large deep yellow blotch, with some golden 
veining on the disc. It is clearly a form of the beautiful but variable hybrid 
between C. Dowiana aurea and C. W iczii. An inflorescence of 
Cattleya intermedia is also sent, cut from a plant whose longest bulbs are 14 
feet long. It had previously been taken for Lelio-cattleya x elegans, 
probably on this account. 
A fine flower of the handsome Cattleya X Mantinii nobilior, taken from 
an inflorescence of six, is sent from the collection of W. Vanner, Esq., 
Camden Wood, Chislehurst, by Mt. Robbins; together with a very large and 
richly coloured form of C. labiata, called C. ]. heatonense, and a very 
brilliant form of C. x Hardyana obtained from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co.’s 
importations. The latter has very dark sepals and petals, the latter slightly 
mottled along the centre and veined near the margin, and the lip very 
richly coloured. A remarkable form of Lzlio-cattleya X Schilleriana is also 
enclosed, in which the elongated sepals and petals are irregularly splashed 
with rose, also the side lobes of the unusually elongated entire lip.
