This photograph, kinJly supplied bj Mr.lA. Dimmock, gives an idea of the veiy severe conditions under which Orchid cultivation is 
carried on during the winter months. The photograph on next page, taken the same day, shows the remarkable display of bloom

CATTLEYA 
To Mr. Rucker, of West Hill, Wands- 
worth, must be given the honour of 
first flowering this species of Cattleya. 
In January, 1849, he sent two flowers of it to 
Dr. Lindley, who named it C. quadncolor, in 
allusion to the four colours — white, yellow, 
lilac and purple — that are observable in its 
blossoms. But it was not until many years 
afterwards (Gardeners' Chronicle, 1864, p. 269, 
and Botanical Magazine, 1865, t. 5504) that 
any description or figure of C. quadricolor w^as 
published. 
A few years after the flowering of Mr. 
Rucker's plant Professor Reichenbach received 
fl.owers of this species, and named it in com- 
pliment to Dr. Triana, a botanist and citizen 
of Bogota. He published the name and 
TRIAN/E. 
description in Mohl and Schlectendal's 
Botanische Zeitiing for i860 ; and as this date 
is earlier than that of the publication of C. 
quadricolor, the name C. Trianae, from priority 
of publication, must be retained. 
This Cattleya is spread over a large area in 
New Grenada. It was collected for the Hor- 
ticultural Society of London by Weir in 1863, 
m the neighbourhood of Bogota, and received 
a First-class Certificate in February, 1866. 
M. Roezl describes in glowing terms, in 
Godefroy s Orchidophilc (April, 1883, p. 572), 
the immense masses in flower he discovered 
near Ruga in 1869. 
Consul F. C. Lehmann visited the natural 
home of this plant, and wrote the following 
note, which appeared in the Gardeners'
