* Panicle varies in length and density, flowers in size and colour. 
Upper and back part of column grows over stigma, and whole 
column very much incrassated.” J. D. H.—From the sketches of 
Dr. Hooker I learn that the sepals of this fine species are 
spreading, oblong-lanceolate, green with dull-red broken streaks ; 
the petals somewhat narrower, rose-coloured, and eurved back- 
wards; the lip yellow, with numerous red streaks on the outside 
and inside. In the dried flowers the sepals are two inches long.

This plant has not appeared among the Hindostan collections, 
but it seems to be common in the North-eastern Provinces, its 
track then bending downwards into the Indian Archipelago. That 
it exists in Java is shown by the specimens above-mentioned from 
T. Lobb and Reinwardt. Of the only other two Javanese Cymbids 
that І have seen, one is a grassy-leaved plant allied to C. ensi- 
folium, the other is possibly Prof. Blume's C. cuspidatum; but 
nothing certain сап be said without examining authentie spe- 
cimens. С. Gibsoni is only a half-monstrous state of this.

Blume's figure of the Japanese Hyacinthorchis variabilis (Mus. 
Lugd. Bot. 1. t. 16) differs in no respect whatever from the Indian 
plant, except in having a short shrivelled appendage of the lip 
instead of a long cucullate one. If this is really во, the species 
would seem to be distinct; if not, not.
