Text Appearing Before Image:
748 ORCHID-GEOWER S MANUAL. V. SUAVIS, " CHATSWORTH VAR.," Williams.—A very fine bold form of this old favourite. It differs in having a much larger number of spots and streaks on the sepals and petals; the lip is rosy-purple, freckled with dots of deep purple ; side lobes rich violet purple margined with white. It originated in the collection of His Grace the Duke of Devonshire at Ohatsworth.—Ja/va. Fig.—Orchid Alhmn, vii. t. 324. V. SUAVIS FLAVA, lAiidl.—In. this form the ground colour of the sepals and petals is yellow instead of Ohina-white, richly marked with broad oblong brown spots, and the lip is scarcely so deep in colour as the typical plant. Flowers at various seasons.—Java. Via.—Bot. Mag., t. 4432 (tricvlor') ; L'0rcliidopUle, 1886, p. 301.
Text Appearing After Image:
VANDA SUAVIS. (Prom the Ga/ediiners' Clironicle.') V. SUAVIS GOTTSCHALCKEI, Williams.—T%.\s is the finest variety of V. suavis that has ever come under our notice. It was first flowered in 1869 by Gr. Gottschalcke, Esq., of Manchester, and exhibited by him at the Manchester Show in that year. The stem and foliage are both much stouter than those of the type; the flowers, too, are much larger, and of stouter substance and better shape. The sepals and petals are more densely spotted than in V. suavis, and the pedicels are deeply tinged with rose ; the lip is bright rosy-purple tipped with white. The flowers are deliciously scented, and are borne at different times of the year.—Java.
