NEPHTHYTis PlCTURATA. (See page 17.) CATTLEYA, continued, much more popular rates. In coloring the flowers of this Cattleya are so different from all others of the genus that it attracts much attention whenever and wherever exhibited. The sepals and petals are bright nankeen- yellow, while the entire lip—broad, spreading and frilled on the margin—is intense rich purple, shaded with violet-rose and beautifully streaked with lines of gold.

A new, distinct and valuable variety of this well-known species. The dorsal sepal is much larger than in th
