Bill :
My query was : "description published by Bateman :
The Garderners' Chronicle, 1864, page 269.
Could you help with a photocopy or a scan of that description ?"
Your comment ("You should have no problem finding all that data") is most encouraging but fails to really help...
************ You wrote :
"it has been called a variety of other names ... a variety of labiata var. trianae"
I presume you are referring to Cattleya labiata var. trianae subvar. chocoensis Veitch

You wrote : "quadricolor was written first...in 1864...by Bateman...in the Gardeners Chronicle".
Not exactly. Lindley did use the epithet quadricolor for the species [Paxton's Flower Garden 1: 6 (1850)] but that mention is considered a nomen nudum (lacks a description).
************ Thanks for the comments.

Viateur
