LAELIA 
A lovely, showy and ornamental genus of orchids re¬ 
sembling Cattleyas and crossed readily with same to 
form the beautiful Laeliocattlyeas. They are best grown 
in well drained pots with peat. Anceps, Autumnalis, 
Superbiens, etc., are natives of Mexico and Guatemala.

the same as Cattleyas. During the growing season 
they all like a high temperature if the air is circulat¬
