Aganisia (Supplement)

The half-dozen species of this genus are confined to tropical America. To those described on p. 35, Vol. I., the following should now be added:

A. cyanea (blue). fl. rather small, in a short, erect raceme; sepals and petals white, ovate, acute; lip blue, roundish-cuneate, undulated at the tip; scapes slender. June. l. evergreen, forming a close, upright tuft, broadly lanceolate, strongly ribbed. Columbia. SYN. Warrea cyanea (B. R. 1845, 28).

A. c. alba (white). fl. pure white. 1885.

A. tricolor (three-coloured). fl. closely resembling those of A. cyanea, but the sepals are whitish on both sides, the petals are light blue, and the callus of the saddle-shaped, orange-brown lip is different in shape. Amazons, 1886. A fine Orchid.
