THE ORCHIDOLOGY OF INDIA. 29 
collected in its great oblong nodding racemes. In all states it is 
to be known by the connivent sepals and petals, and probably also 
by the presence of a pair of teeth near the base of the two con- 
tiguous parallel lamelle. I must however observe, that I cannot 
find the latter in my specimens of C. densiflorum, from Griffith, 
although he describes them as being present. 
182. C. longifolium, D. Роп; Lindl., 1. c. 
Sikkim, Cathcart ; Khasija, J. D. Н. & T. T. (230). 
Flowers appear, from Cathcart’s figure, to be olive-brown, with 
a white lip spotted with crimson. The lip is covered with down 
in the inside, and the appearance of the species is that of а small 
C. giganteum. ; 
183. C. giganteum, Wall. Cat. No. 7355; Bot. Mag. 4844. 
Khasija, Nunklow on trees, Grifith; Darjeeling, Id.; Sikkim, 5000— 
7000 feet, J. D. Н. (227, 233). 
Varies much in the size and colour of the flowers and the 
breadth of the leaves. Among Cathcart’s drawings, one representa 
them as dull red on a greenish ground, with the inside of the lip 
streaked with red, the whole flower being about 3 inches in 
diameter ; another, on the contrary, represents them as nearly 5 
inches in diameter, with deep bright-green whole-coloured sepals 
and petals, and a yellowish lip, the inside of which is profusely 
dotted with crimson. 
184. C. micromEson ; foliis linearibus loratis basi canaliculatis rigidis 
racemo erecto paucifloro longioribus, perianthio membranaceo patente, 
labello cuneato glaberrimo basi conspicue saccato laciniis lateralibus 
rotundatis intermedia unguiculata oblata biloba apiculata multo mi- 
nore lamellas 2 filiformes crenulatas emittente versus medium lae 
bellum evanescentes. 
Khasija, Griffith. 
For this curious species I am indebted to the East India Сош- 
pany, by whom it was communicated with many other of Griffith's 
plants, through my friend Dr. Royle. The great bag formed be- 
tween the bases of the column, lip, and lateral sepals, the long lip 
smooth, wedge-shaped, with a very small double purple middle 
lobe, from which run down two smooth crenated lamellæ, disap- 
pearing before they reach the middle of the lip, are like nothing 
else in this genus. 
185. C. chloranthum, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1843, Misc. 102. (C. vari- 
ciferum, Rchb. f. in Bonplandia, Oct. 15, 1856.) 
This is not among the collections before me. I learn from 
Prof. Reichenbach himself that his name has to be caucelled.
