or sweeter.

_Adonis._--Bright rosy petals--sepals paler--lip and edges of lobes
carmine.

_F. Sander._--The latest pseudo-bulb measures 2 feet 3 inches--topping the
best growth of its native forest by six inches; from base to top of the
spike, 4 feet less 1 inch, and as thick as a walking-cane. This grand
plant has been in cultivation for three years. The sepals and petals are
those of L. e. Turneri; the lip resembles a fine L. purpurata.

The plant next to this, unnamed, has pseudo-bulbs almost as long, but
scarcely thicker than straws.

_Empress._--A very dark form of Turneri.

_Medusa._--Tall, slender pseudo-bulbs--very dark.

_Neptune_, on the contrary, has pseudo-bulbs short and fat, whilst the
colouring is pale.

_H. E. Moojen._--Doubtless a natural hybrid with L. purpurata, which takes
equally after both parents.

_Godseffiana._--Nearly white; the broad lip carmine--lobes of the same
hue, widely expanded.

_Mrs. F. Sander._--A round flower, very dark rose; sepals and petals
dotted all over, as in Cattleya Leopoldii.

_Red King._--Yellowish throat. Lip good colour and round, but narrow,
without the prolongation of some or the lateral extension of others.
Curiously like the shape of L. Perrinii.

_Stella._--Dusky rose and similarly spotted, but different in
shape--sepals and petals much thinner.

_Boadicea._--Sepals and petals deep rose. Long shovel lip crimson-lake.

_H. G. Gifkins._--The sepals are palest green, with a rosy tinge; petals
pale mauve. The lip, maroon-crimson, spreads out broadly from a neck
almost half an inch long, and its deep colour stretches right up the
throat.

_Mrs. R. H. Measures._--Pure white, even the lip, except a touch of
purple-crimson in the centre and slender crimson veins.

_L.-C. Harold Measures._--A fine hybrid of L.e. Blenheimensis and Catt.
superba splendens, which takes mostly after the former in colouring, the
latter in shape. It is a round flower, with a crimson lip immensely broad;
two small yellow spots are half concealed beneath the tube. Sepals
greenish tawny, petals dull pink with crimson lines.

_Sade Lloyd._--A very pretty form. Sepals and petals rosy, tinted with
fawn colour. The crimson lip is edged with a delicate white line, as are
the lobes, which fold completely over the tube.

_Doctor Ryan_ is distinguished by a very long protruding lip.

_Ophelia._--As big and as round as Catt. Mossiae. Tube very thick and
wide.

_Macfarlanei._--We hav
