LIST OF ORCHIDEiE. 
(Continued from page 107.) 
40. Cattleya Perrinii. Stem bulbous, six inches long, and 
one inch broad, and rather flattish leaves sometimes in pairs, 
but mostly single, one foot long and two inches broad, with its 
apex obtuse ; its flowers are mostly produced in twos and threes, 
of a beautiful violet colour, and tinged in the labellum with pur¬ 
ple, rather tapering towards the apex. This requires pot culture in 
a mixture of sphagnum, turfy peat, and rotten wood, and ina tem¬ 
perature of 65°; this plant also bears the name of Lselia Perrinii; 
is worthy of cultivation.— -Native of Brazil. 
41. Cattleya Superba. Stem bulbous, six inches long, nearly 
round and swelled a little towards the summit; leaves in pairs 
four inches long and two broad ; the flowers are the richest in 
colour of any of this genus. Requires the same treatment and 
temperature as the others, and should be in every selection.—- 
Native of Guiana. 
42. Cattleya Bicolor. Stem bulbous, eight inches long, and 
round leaves in pairs four inches long and nearly ovate; its 
flowers are two coloured, and worthy a place in every selection. 
The same treatment and temperature as the others. To grow 
this genus to perfection, they should be placed in the most airy 
part of the house, and should be well elevated above the pot so 
as to insure a good drainage, and particular care should be paid 
in watering them, as they do not require a great amount either 
of heat or moisture. —Native of Brazil. 
43. Comperettia Rosea. This is an elegant little species des¬ 
titute of bulbs; its leaves are nearly four inches long, of a pur¬ 
plish green ; the flowers are borne on a drooping scape, and are 
of a beautiful rosy crimson. It requires hanging up in a basket 
in a mixture of sphagnum and rotten wood, well chopped to¬ 
gether, in a temperature of 70° ; this is also worthy of cultiva¬ 
tion.— Native of Trinidad. 
44. Comperettia Coccinea. This is an elegant little species, 
and much similar to the other; requiring the same treatment and 
temperature.— Native of Brazil. 
45. Camerotis Purpurea. This is an elegant plant of the 
Vandee tribe ; the stem is upright, sending out its leaves alter¬ 
nately up the stem ; the leaves are long and narrow; the raceme 
drooping, and producing a great number of handsome purplish 
flowers. It should be placed on a rough chump of wood, with 
a little moss fastened round it, and also in a temperature of 70°; it 
should be liberally supplied with water when growing.— Native 
of India.
