crimson-rose, a little deeper on the petals, becoming quite dark at the tips, 
and the lip rich crimson. [It flowered in the collection of Baron Schréder. 
—F.C.C;, R.H.S,; Jan: 13; 1891. 
Var. grandiflora (Will. Orch. Gr. Man. ed. 6, p. 351) is typical in form and 
colour, but has much larger flowers.—G. C., 1888, i., pp. 105, 107, fig. 17. 
The forms called Chamberlain's var. (O. R., II., p. 1) and Rosefield var. 
(p. 34) are very similar. 
Crawshayana (Journ. of Hort., 1895, i., p. 67, fig. 12) is a very large- 
flowered rose-purple form allied to the preceding. F.C.C., R.H.S., Jan. 
15, 1895. 
Var. leucosticta (Rchb. f. in G. C., 1885, i., p. 206) is a rosy form, in 
which the petals are irregularly streaked with white. It flowered in the 
collection of Mr. Greenfield, of Dunstable. 
Var. radians (Rchb. f. in G. C., 1888, i., p. 298) is much like the pre- 
ceding, but has a white space at the base of the sepals and petals. 
Oweniana (G, C., 1892, ti., p. 744) is a richly-coloured variety, in which 
the segments are conspicuously flaked with white. It flowered in the 
collection of G. D. Owen, Esq., of Rotherham.—Journ. of Hort., 1892, ii, 
P- 569, fig. 77- ; 
Dawsoni (G. C., 1868, p. 27) was the first white form, and appeared in 
the collection of T. Dawson Esq., at Meadow Bank, Glasgow. It has very 
broad, proportionately short petals, and a large deep purple blotch on the 
front lobe of the lip—O. 4., L., t. 44. 
Var. vestalis (Rchb. f. in G. C., 1880, i., p. 126) approaches the pre- 
ceding in shape, but has the front lobe of the lip white, the purple 
pencillings on the side lobes alone remaining. It flowered in the collection 
of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart. : 
Hollidayana (O’Brien in G. C., 1894, i., p. 166) is near Dawsoni, but 
has a shorter, broader lip, with a carmine-crimson blotch on the square 
front labe. 
Amesiana (O’Brien in G. C., 1888, ii., p. 660) has the shape and other 
details of Dawsoni, but the petals have a purple feathered tip. It appeared 
with Messrs. Sander.—Journ. of Hort. 1893, ii-, P- 505, f8- 73- 
Var. alba (Rchb. f. in G. C., 1879, i., p- 10) is an albino, having lost the 
purple pencillings on the side lobes of the lip. In shape it has been 
compared with Dawsoni, but there is a similar form with comparatively 
narrow petals which goes under this name. An albino called virginalis 
(Journ. of Hort., 1887, i., p- 42, fig. 7), which appeared with F. A. Philbrick, 
Esq., of Bickley, has also petals 14 inches broad. 
Schrocderiana (Rehb. f. in G. C., 1885, is, p- 342) is @ very large pure 
white form, with the petals and front lobe of the lip very broad. The side 
lobes are veined with purple. It flowered in the collection of Baron
