LAZLIOCATTLEYA LUSTRE VAR. BUDDHA. 
TuIs is a second handsome variety of Leliocattleya Lustre from the 
collection of Sir George L. Holford, which received an Award of Merit at 
the recent Royal International Horticultural Exhibition. Its history in 
other respects is identical with that of the one figured on the preceding 
page, with which it affords a very effective contrast. It has a broader, 
much more expanded lip, with some yellow on the sides of the throat, 
recalling Cattleya Warscewiczii in this respect. The sepals and petals are

also relatively more elongated and less decurved, and thus are more like those 
of the Leliocattleya parent. The colour of the sepals and petals is rosy 
lilac, and that of the lip rich purple-crimson, with some light mottling and 
darker veining in front, some dark purple veining down the throat, and 
some white and yellow at the sides. Both are very handsome, and so 
diverse in general character that they might have passed as distinct hybrids 
without evidence of their origin. Another example of diversity in seedlings 
from the same capsule in Odontoglossum crispum is given on page 232.
