characteristics of the parents and hybrids so well that the different flowers 
can be identified at a glance.” 
LLIO-CATTLEYA SCHILLERIANA (fig. 20) is a very old inhabitant of our 
gardens, having appeared in the collection of Consul Schiller, of Hamburg, 
as long ago as 1855, when it was thought to be a species, and was 
described by Reichenbach under the name of Lelia Schilleriana. Other 
forms subsequently appeared and were described, when the opinion was 
expressed that they were natural hybrids, a view which has since been con- 
firmed, for it has now been raised artificially three times, by Messrs. 
Charlesworth, Messrs. Cappe, and by J. H. Grogan, Esq., as recorded in 
these pages. Its history and synonymy have also been given (O.R. i. 
Pp. 237, 238). It is found in the Santa Catherina district, S. Brazil, with 
its two parents. 
CATTLEYA INTERMEDIA (fig. 1g) is a free-flowering and popular garden 
plant, which was originally introduced as long ago as 1824. The pure 
white varieties are highly prized at the present time, also the remarkable 
peloriate variety Aquinii, which is mentioned on page 150, and which has 
been figured in our pages (O.R. viii. p. 73). 
L#LIA PURPURATA (fig. 18) is one of our most popular garden plants, 
and presents a considerable range of variation in colour. It was introduced 
to cultivation in 1847, and originally described by Lindley about five years 
later (Paxt. Fl. Gard. iii. t. 96). 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
L#LI0-CATTLEYA UrsvuLa.—A pretty little hybrid raised by E. F. Clark, 
Esq., Chamonix, Teignmouth, from Lalia crispa 2 and L.-c. Conbeilenisis 
3, the latter being a form of the natural hybrid L.-c. Leeana (C. 
Loddigesii X L. pumila). The cross was made in September, 1898, and 
the seed sown the following April, seedlings being observed three months 
later. Mr. Clark remarks that it is the first Lzlio-cattleya of his own raising 
to flower, and that the plant, though eight years old whem the first flower 
appeared, is still dwarf, being no bigger than a fair sized L. pumila. The 
flower is 44 inches in diameter, and the petals 1} inches broad, and some- 
what crisped, while the lip is distinctly three-lobed, and strongly crisped in 
front. The sepals and petals are lilac-mauve, -the side lobes of the lip 
white, and the front lobe intense purple-crimson, with a narrow white 
margin, while a broad purple line extends down the light yellow disc, from 
which radiate short purple lines on either side. It should develop into a 
very pretty thing when the plant becomes strong. The flower is most like 
the L. crispa parent, except as to the colour of the sepals and petals. Mr. 
Clark has five seedlings, two having longer stems, showing more of the C. 
Loddigesii —- and these may prove somewhat different in the flower.
