Cattleya × Hardyana var. Luciani (Lindenia, Pl. CDXLIX)
[Ghent]: Lindenia: Iconographie des Orchidées, 1880s.
10 1/2" x 14" Chromolithograph plate (no. CDXLIX), after A. Goossens, chromolithographed by J. Goffart: two ruffled pink Cattleya blooms with a crimson-and-yellow fringed lip, shown against a single trailing leaf. Captioned Cattleya × Hardyana Rchb. f. var. Luciani Hort., with the accompanying French text leaf. Matted.
The variety takes its name from Lucien Linden, Jean Linden's son, who ran the family firm L'Horticulture Internationale; the text leaf notes it as one of several distinct forms of C. × Hardyana that orchid houses of the day prized for their variation in lip color and markings.
