foliis lanceolatis acuminatis undulatis coriaceis obsoleté trinerviis racemi 
pedunculo basi tantum squamato longioribus, bracteis setaceis apice 
sphacelatis, labelli lobis rotundatis lateralibus planis intermedio undulato,

- A pretty species of this interesting genus, from the Chirree 
district of the Khosea hills of India, where it was found by 
Mr. Gibson, when in that country on his botanical mission 
from his Grace the Duke of Devonshire. It has firm, bright- 
green, not shining, leaves of a leathery texture, and very pale 
greenish yellow flowers, whose lip has a yellow centre, and a 
border beautifully streaked, and spotted with crimson. We 
shall take an early opportunity of publishing a figure of it. 
179. ERIA bipunctata ; (Tonsee) caulibus ovalibus compressis, foliis lanceo- 
latis acuminatis 11-nerviis, racemis axillaribus cylindraceis multifloris, 
bracteis ovatis acuminatis reflexis, alabastris globosis, sepalis petalisque 
ovatis obtusiusculis, labelli trilobi leevis laciniis lateralibus intermedio 
carnoso convexo rotundato angustioribus. 
This plant was found by Mr. Gibson in the same locality 
as the last, and flowered with it at Chatsworth. It has the 
flowers of a Liparis, and the foliage of an Eria, so far as 
general aspect goes. The stems are flat, oval, partially 
covered by the sheaths of fallen leaves, when full blown 
between two and three inches long; at first they are green, 
but they become when old of a light purplish brown colour. 
The leaves, in size and form, are very like those of Eria flori- 
bunda, to which this species is nearly allied. The flowers 
are arranged in cylindrical drooping racemes, rather shorter 
than the leaves; they are perfectly free from downiness, 
except just at the base of the raceme, and are about the size 
of a grain of pepper, very pale, yellowish white, with the tip 
of the column purple, and the point of the labellum deep 
yellow, by which means the flowers seem as if they had two 
spots upon them when they are looked at from the front.

This plant, which resembles C. maculatum in habit, but 
has a yellow lip, the form of which is that of a wedge, with
