No. 43 Sophro-LaBlia Gratrixas 
(Laelia tenebrosa x Sophronites grandiflora). 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, September lOth, 1901. 
A richly coloured hybrid, with flowers strangely like those of L. tenebrosa 
in shape, though much smaller. Sepals lanceolate, purplish-red, tinged with orange 
colour ; petals ovate, acuminate, and similar in colour to sepals ; lip purplish-red, 
with purple veining. The blending of the colour gives a glowing appearance to 
the flower and renders it very attractive. The plant when shown was small and 
flowering from 2 leads, so that we are confident that this will prove when grown, 
the best Sophronites cross yet flowered. 
Good healthy plant, 4 strong bulbs, all with leaves, making 2 strong leads. 
Price on application.
