326 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
CATTLEYA ALBINOS. 
(Continued from page 110). 
CaTTLEYA Mosst# WaGENERI.—An albino of Cattleya Mossiz appeared 
as early as 1854, before its relation to this species was understood, and 
it was described by Reichenbach under the name of C. Wageneri 
(Bonplandia, ii, p. 21). It was discovered in May, 1851, by Wagener, at 
Caraccas, at 4,000-ft. elevation, and sent to Herr Decker, in whose 
collection it first flowered. The flower is white, with some deep yellow 
in the throat. Shortly afterwards, a figure ot it appeared (Xen. Orch., i, 
p- 28, t. 13). Soon afterwards it appeared with Messrs. James Backhouse 
and Sons, of York, and again with Messrs. Jackson, of Kingston, by 
whom it was exhibited at the Royal Botanic Society’s Show at Regent’s 
Park, in June, 1857. <A good figure appears in the Orchid Album, vii, t. 
295. It is now known as C. Mossie Wageneri (O’Brien in Gard. Chron., 
1883, xx, p. 372). C.M. alba is also mentioned on the latter page as a 
very rare white variety, without any other particulars. 
CATTLEYA PERCIVALIANA ALBA (Will. Orch. Gr. Man., ed. 6, p- 197) is 
a beautiful albino which appeared in the collection of R. P. Percival, 
Esq., of Southport, and received a First-class Certificate from the Royal 
Horticultural Society, in February, 1884. The flowers are pure white, 
with an orange stain in the throat. 
CATTLEYA LUEDDEMANNIANA ALBA (Orchidophile, 1886, p. 365), appeared 
in 1886, in the collection of M. F. Finet, of Argenteuil, France, from an 
importation made by M. Godefroy Lebeuf, about three years previous. 
It is a most beautiful variety, the flowers being pure white with a little 
yellow in the throat. It is figured in Retchenbachia (ser. 2, ii, p. 59, t- 74), 
from a plant in the collection of W. R. Lee, Esq., of Audenshaw, 
Manchester, which received a First-class Certificate from the Royal 
Horticultural Society on September 6th, 1892, under the name of C. 
speciosissima Sanderiana (Gard. Chron., 1822, xii, p. 312). 
CATTLEYA WARSCEWICZII ROCHELLENSIS (C. labiata Warscewiczii 
rochellensis, Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron., 1888, iv., p. 533) appeared, in 1888, 
in the establishment of Messrs. Siebrecht and Wadley, of New York, 
whence it passed into the collection of F. L. Ames, Esq. It is a most 
beautiful albino, agreeing with the type in shape, but the colour white, with 
some yellow in the throat. It is figured in Reichenbachia, ser. 1., ii., p. 
81, t. 85. 
CATTLEYA MAXIMA ALBA (J.D. in Gard. Chron., 1881, xvi., p. 846) 
appeared in the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of 
Chelsea, and has pure white flowers, with the exception of the front of the 
lip, on which occur a few rose-purple veins. Thus it is not quite a true albino.
