_Schilleriana._--The variety most clearly allied to L. purpurata. White or palest rose of sepal and petal, the latter marked with purplish lines at the base. Lip a grand purple-crimson, fading sharply towards the edges.
_Weathersiana._--Sepals palest tawny suffused with rose, petals mauve. The broad lip of fine colour is so strongly indented that it resembles the bipennis of the Amazons.
_Euspatha._--Reichenbach suggested that this is a hybrid of L. Boothiana or L. purpurata with some Cattleya--probably intermedia. It is white, with broad, sepals and petals. The tube is open nearly all its length, and the wide lip of crimson, fading to purplish edges, shows scarcely an indentation.
_Hallii._--Crimson-purple sepals--petals darker; the lip approaches maroon.
_Oweniae._--In this case the sepals and petals--which are leaf-shaped--stand out boldly, straight on end--rosy with mauve shading, more pronounced in the latter; lip round, of a charming carmine.
_Incantans._--A very large and stately bloom. Sepals of the tender warm stone so often mentioned, petals broad and waved, of the same colour down the middle, flushing to rosy purple on each side. A fine crimson-velvet lip.
_Melanochites_ is a very symmetrical flower, though not 'compact,' as the phrase goes. All lively rose-lake, the petals a darker tone. The grand broad lip of purple crimson has a pretty yellow blotch on either side beneath the tube. It is sharply forked.
_Pyramus._--Sepals of the flushed stone-colour which I, at least, admire so much; but the flush is more conspicuous than usual. Petals clear rose. Lip vivid crimson, with the same yellow blotches under the white tube.
_Bella._--The purplish crimson sepals and petals are tipped with buff. Lip shovel-shaped, dark crimson.
_Sappho._--Here the pale purple sepals only are tipped with buff, while the petals, which curl over, are rose. The carmine of the lip is very pretty.
_Macfarlanei II._--Sepals of the same colour, but greenish, strongly marked with the distinctive spots of Catt. Leopoldii, edged with rose; petals rose, lined with crimson on either side of the white midrib. The long tube opening shows a strongly yellow throat. The labellum is short, but superb in colour.
