considerations I have till lately refrained from saying any 

 thing about the plant now figured. It has in some refpects 

 so much the appearance of C. maculatum, that when I first 

 received it from Mr. Veitch of Exeter, in March 184<2, I 

 hesitated whether to regard it as a variety or a distinct 

 species. A plant however, obtained from Brazil direct by 

 Messrs Loddiges (Cat. no. 890) has given me courage to 

 regard it as the latter. It has a short rSeme of much £ 

 greenish-yellow flowers, with broad chocolate-brown blotches, 

 and lts lip is quite remarkable, having 5 finger-like lobes
