CATTLEYA x IRIS, VAR. KING EDWARD VII. 
Tuts beautiful variety flowered in the collection of H. S. Goodson, Esq., 
Fairlawn, Putney, last September, when a fine photograph was kindly 
forwarded, which is here given on a reduced scale, being altogether too 
large for our page. A flower was also sent at the time, and was noted at 
page 318 of our last volume as ‘‘a magnificent form, having reddish buff 
Fig. 2. CATTLEYA X Iris, var. Kinc Epwarp VII. 
sepals and petals, the latter over two inches broad, and the front lobe of the 
lip very undulate, rich carmine purple, and 2} inches broad, while the short 
side lobes are salmon-coloured. Mr. Day considers it to be one of the most 
beautiful he has ever seen.” Cattleya x Iris is one of the best of Messrs. 
Charlesworth’s hybrids, and the shape and quality of this variety can be 
judged by the illustration.
