31. Cattleya Labiata. (Derived from a flower having a 
lip.) Stem bulbous, broad and rather flat, leaves single, seven 
inches long and three broad, rather crisp; flower-spike smooth, 
rising from a spathe from the apex of the young shoot, as with 
all the species. Sepals and petals a delicate rose colour, and 
rather curled; the labellum on the outside is rose colour, and 
the inside is blotched and striped with deep carmine, the edges 
are tinged with purple and fringed. This requires also pot cul¬ 
ture the same as the rest, and should be elevated above the pot, 
so as to give a good drainage.— Native of Brazil. 
32. Cattleya Labiata , var. Atro-parpurea. Plant much 
similar to the above species, being only a variety of the other; 
but the labellum is very much darker. The same treatment and 
temperature as for the others do for this.— Native of La Guayra . 
33. Cattleya Mossice. (Named in compliment to Mrs. Moss 
of Liverpool.) This plant much resembles C. labiata in growth, 
and the flowers are somewhat similar; but the colour and 
fringing is a little different, the bulbs are rather rounder, and 
the leaves longer and narrower. This requires pot culture also, 
in the same temperature as given for the others. — Native of 
Brazil. 
34. Cattleya Harrisonii. (Named after — Harrison, Esq. 
of Liverpool.) Plant tall^ stem nearly twenty inches long, and 
slender; leaves in pairs, nearly oval; flower-spike producing 
three to four flowers of a pinkish lilac ; the labellum has a dash 
of yellow* in it. This requires the same treatment and tempe¬ 
rature as the others.-— Native of Brazil. 
35. Cattleya Harrisonii alba. Plant much similar to its 
parent in growth, but not quite so tall; its flowers are very 
pretty, being of a whitish colour, tinged slightly with blue; 
the labellum has also a dash of yellow on it. The same treat¬ 
ment and temperature as the others.—/ believe a Native of the 
Organ Mountains. 
36. Cattleya Guttata. (Derived from being spotted.) 
Plant strong and tall, growing from two feet to nearly three 
feet high; leaves in pairs, large, broad, and crisp; flower-spike 
producing a great number of flowers, sometimes upwards of 
eighteen at once; the sepals and petals are yellowish-green, 
spotted with dark red; the labellum is white in the throat, but 
towards the apex it deepens to a purple. The same treatment 
and temperature as the others. — Native of Brazil. 
37. Cattleya Guttata , var. Russellianum. Plant not so 
strong growing as the former, nor does it produce so many 
flowers, which are also smaller; the sepals and petals are green, 
spotted with brownish-purple, rather small ; the labellum is
