_Ophelia._--As big and as round as Catt. Mossiae. Tube very thick and wide.
_Macfarlanei._--We have two so named. In this grand example the pseudo-bulbs are more than 2 feet high, proportionately thick. Eight or nine flowers on the spike. Sepals and petals glaucous green. Long lip of brightest crimson.
_Leucotata._--Sepals and petals white with rosy tips--lip white, saving rosy lines and a rosy stain.
_Nyleptha._--Sepals and petals fawn colour, edged with rose. Very wide lip of deepest crimson.
_Haematochila._--Sepals stone-colour flushed with pink, petals dusky pink. Lip carmine-purple, rather narrow, shaped like a highly ornamental spade.
_Paraleuka._--All snowy white save the carmine lip, the form of which is curiously neat and trim.
_Tenebrosa._--In this specially dark variety the tube is long, closely folded, rose-white, with lines of crimson proceeding from the back. As they meet at the lower edge they form a border as deep in hue as the lip. But our darkest elegans, eighteen years in the collection, has not bloomed for six seasons past.
_Schilleriana splendens._--Sepals and petals white, with a faintest rosy tinge and a yellow stain on the midrib. Lip long, straight, forked at the tip, liveliest crimson-purple.
_Stelzneriana._--Rosy-white. The crimson of the lip does not spread all over but lies in a triangular blotch.
_Measuresiana._--Sepals greenish-yellow, the leaf-like petals similar, pink towards the edges, lined with rose. Both spotted at the tip with crimson. The lip is that of Catt. bicolor, short comparatively, straight, and darkest crimson.
_Ladymead._--The white sepals and petals have a palest tinge of rose. On the lip are two broad yellow eyes after the fashion of Catt. gigas.
_Venus._--Almost white. Petals veined, sepals dotted, with crimson--the underside of both heavily stained. Lip almost fawn-colour at the edges, with veins widening and deepening into crimson at the throat.
_Luculenta._--A very pretty hybrid of Messrs. Sander's raising, palest mauve. Lip rather narrow but grand in colour. Shovel-shaped.
_Frederico._--A very odd variety--small. The stone-coloured sepals are outlined with rose, the petals with purplish pink. Both are speckled with brown. Lip brightest maroon-crimson, prettily scalloped.
