The varietv of this plant originally introduced from 
China, we have not seen for some years; it had flowers ee 
tinctly lined with purple, as in the figure in the beża 
Magazine. That which is now more generallv cultivate s 
what is here represented with greener sepals, and ao s 
whitish petals, both without lines; and seems ınterm ia 
between the first and the spotless Cymbidium riphiifolium.
