238 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
seems more probable that it came from the Santa Catherina district, 
original form had white flowers, and an obscurely three-lobed lip, 
lobe and tips of the side lobes amethyst-purple, a purple line aloe th 
and a little yellow in the throat. 
Round this original form a number of variations group th 
which, if less numerous than in the preceding, have been more mis 
stood, as will be seen by the under-mentioned synonymy. The 
Stelzneriana has a nearly entire lip, as in Lelia purpurata, with so 
yellow in the throat. The one called euspatha is very similar, but 
broader lip with yellow throat, and a slight flush of pink in the se 
petals. The variety irrorata has a three-lobed lip, and rather nar 
sepals and petals. Wolstenholmie has a nearly white ground with 
veins and dots of purple along the margins. The lip is narrow and 
entire, amethyst-purple in front with a maroon disc, and the sides 
paler. Warneri is a form with a nearly entire lip which, like the 
ceding, has hitherto been referred to L. x elegans. The form ¢ 
Lelia x elegans alba also belongs here, and has a three-lobed lip 
Cattleya intermedia. Lastly may be mentioned Lelia x Measure 
which is apparently also a variety of the present one. It has white flc 
with an entire lip, rose-coloured in front, and veined with purple in 
centre, and stained with yellow in the throat. 
As in the preceding case, we see in the present hybrid a distinct 
bination of characters derived from the parent species, both in the vege 
organs and flowers, and sometimes we find the entire lip of Leelia pu I 
at others the three-lobed one of Cattleya intermedia. Considering t 
marked difference between Cattleya Leopoldi and C. intermedia, t 
should be littledifficulty in distinguishing the two corresponding hybi
