eopoldii, 
True. 
Without doubt Cattleya Leopoldii is the grandest in this section of Orchids, having 
from 12 to 30 substantial blossoms in a glorious umbel. Individually the large flowers 
have the sepals and petals of a rich bronzy chocolate, spotted with blood-crimson, 
while the velvety lip is of the richest purple, retaining these brilliant hues for about 
three weeks or a month. 
The plants offered are in the best possible order, exhibiting great variation, and 
containing many distinct- looking plants. They were found growing wit h Lrelia purpurata. 
Many splendid forms are already known, notably lilacina, Prinzii, punctulata, 
Keteleeri, Williamsii, etc., while, owing to natural causes, crossing and intercrossing is 
greatly facilitated in this region, and an abundanco of natural hybrids obtained, more 
so than in any other district we know of— Ln'lia purpurata with Cattleya Leopoldii and 
0. intermedia, Leopoldii with intermedia and the products, Leelio-Cattleya elegans, 
L.-O. Schilleriana, and Cattleya intricata, with thomselves and with the parent species. 
k Hence these plants are particularly interesting and promising, and we strongly 
recommend them. Potted now the plants should at once commence to grow and yield 
in abundance their noble-looking fragrant blossoms this season.
