THE ORCHID REVIEW. 357 
EULOPHIELLA PEETERSIANA. 
(See FRONTISPIECE.) 
Tus beautiful plant is unquestionably the Orchid of the year, and we have 
great pleasure in giving its portrait as a frontispiece to the present volume. 
The photograph, for which we are indebted to the kindness of Sir Trevor 
Lawrence, is by the London Stereoscopic Company, and was taken from a 
fine painting of the plant by the well-known botanical artist, Mr. iL. 
Macfarlane. In this we have made a departure from our usual practice, 
but the almost microscopic accuracy of Mr. Macfarlane’s work is a sufficient 
guarantee of the correctness of the details. The photograph is about one- 
fifth natural size, the flowers being over three inches broad, and, considering 
the large amount of reduction necessary, the result is remarkably good. 
The history of the species has been given at pages 67 and ror of our last 
volume and p. 105 of the present one, and need not be repeated, though we 
may add that it was awarded a First-class Certificate by the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society on April rath last, and that figures have now appeared in 
the Botanical Magazine (tt. 7612, 7613). It is a very handsome Orchid, the 
sepals and petals being brilliant purple in colour, with a darker blotch at 
the apex, and the lip white with a broad purple border, and some orange 
streaks in the throat. It adds one more to the list of achievements 
obtained at Burford, and both Sir Trevor Lawrence and his able grower, 
Mr. White, must be congratulated on their success in first flowering it. 
CATTLEYA ALBINOS. 
(Continued from page 327.) 
CATTLEYA ELDORADO VIRGINALIS (Will. Orch. Gr. Man., ed. 7, p. 162) 
is a beautiful albino, which appeared with M. J. Linden, in 1876, and was 
originally described as a distinct species (C. virginalis, Linden and André. 
Ill. Hort., xxiii., p. 161, t. 257). It is said to have first flowered in 1869. 
Afterwards another white Cattleya, which had been sent home by Wallis, 
was described under the name of C. Wallisii (Linden ex Rchb. f. in Gard. 
Chron., 1882, xvii., p. 557), but has proved identical with the preceding. 
' CATTLEYA QUADRICOLOR ALBA.—A very fine albino of C. quadricolor 
(syn. chocoensis) flowered in the collection of A. Warburton, Esq., Vine 
House, Haslingden, in January, 1897. A painting in the collection of Mr. 
J. L. Macfarlane, shows it to be a very fine form with particularly broad 
petals, and the colour snow white with a little yellow in the throat. Under 
the name of C. chocoensis alba it is also mentioned as being in the 
collection of C. G. Roebling, Esq., Trenton, New Jersey, U.S.A. (Gard. 
Chron., 1898, xxiv., p. 330). Other specimens may be in existence,
