This beautiful little plant, is, according to Dr. Wallich, a 
native of the lofty range of mountains which confine Bengal 
towards the district of Sylhet, in an easterly and northerly 
direction, inhabiting rocks and the trunks of trees among 
moss. It is not mentioned by Dr. Royle, but that distin- 
guished traveller found a nearly allied species, C. preecox, 
ornamenting with its large richly coloured flowers the 
branches of oaks on Lundour, at 7,500 feet of elevation, in 
30° N. lat.; but only during the moisture of the rainy 
season. (Illustrations of the Botany of the Himalayas, 
p. 364.)

from Chatsworth, to which place it had been brought b 
Mr. John Gibson, as has been already stated in the miscel- 
laneous matter of this work for 1838, No. 157. Other flowers 
have been sent me by Mr. Bateman, with the following note. 
« This beautiful plant I owe to the liberality of the Duke 
of Devonshire. It is now (Oct. 1838) flowering with me in 
* So named from xoudoc hollow, and yv», used in the sense of stigma; 
in allusion to the form of that organ.
