CATTLEYA x DUSSELDORFII VAR. UNDINE. 
(See Frontispiece.) 
TueE Frontispiece to the present volume represents a fine plant of the 
chaste and beautiful Cattleya x Dusseldorfii var. Undine, carrying twelve 
blooms, from the collection of Lt.-Col. Sir George L. Holford, Westonbirt, 
Tetbury. The hybrid was raised in the collection by Mr. Alexander, from 
C. intermedia: alba ? and C. Mossiz Wageneri ¢, and received a First- 
class Certificate from the R.H.S. on December gth, 1906, on its flowering 
for the first time (O.R., 1907, p. 19). It isa charming pure white variety, 
with a primrose yellow disc to the lip, thus having retained the albinism of 
both parents, and this character extended to every seedling in the batch. 
It is a very free-growing and floriferous hybrid, and altogether a great 
acquisition. One particularly fine form, known as the Westonbirt variety, 
received a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. on May 3rd, 1910. The 
original C. X Dusseldorfii was raised by M. Ch. Maron, Brunoy, France, 
from the typical forms of the two species, and flowered with him for the 
first time in 1904.
