his beautiful Cattleya , whose portrait we now présent to our readers, 
though at first thought to be a distinct species, is clearly a variety of 
the somewhat variable C. granulosa Lindl., with which it agréés in ail 
its botanical characters. It is, nevertheless, a very distinct variety, readily distin- 
guished by the total absence of spots from the sepals and petals, also by the 
lighter coloured lip, the crimson being almost confined to the numerous papillæ, 
or granulations, as they were formerly called, with which the surface is studded, 
and from which the species originally derived its name. 
It was introduced, during last year, by Messrs Linden, L’Horticulture Inter¬ 
nationale, Parc Léopold, Brussels, from some part of Brazil, and flowered for 
the first time during the autumn. 
It was exhibited at a meeting of L’Orchidéenne, of Brussels, on October 
I2th last, and was unanimously awarded a First-class Certificate, also at a 
meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on October 14Ü1, when it received an 
Award of Merit. 
Its relation of the typical C. granulosa , and the varieties which hâve been 
successively described, will readily be seen by a comparison with the figures 
and descriptions here cited. 
Cattleya granulosa was originally described by Dr. Lindley, in 1842, from a 
specimen said to hâve been discovered by Hartweg, two years previously, in 
Guatemala. A single plant was sent to the Horticultural Society of London,
