CATTLEYA SUPERBA. 
last autumn. It appears, also, to be very free-flowering ; as the above gentlemen 
have blossomed it in very various states, and Messrs. Rollisson of Tooting have 
bloomed a plant that had not been many months imported. In both these 
establishments it is now tolerably abundant. 
Specimens, planted in the usual mixture of heath-mould and potsherds, seem 
to succeed well if they are not subjected to too much heat and moisture. Like the 
rest of the Cattleyas, they do not flourish in a high temperature where moisture 
abounds. They will likewise thrive, but not so vigorously, on suspended logs of 
wood ; and, in this case, they should have a more than usual quantity of moss 
placed about their roots, for, unless these are duly covered, the plants will remain 
stunted, and comparatively diminutive. 
We owe our drawing to the kindness of Messrs. Loddiges, from whom it was 
obtained in September last.
