Guatemala.——-Flowers deep rich rose colour, with a 
crimson lip, resembling those of C. Skinneri. This 
species inhabits the hot damp coast, on very high trees, 
and is most difficult to get at, except after a storm that 
may have chanced to throw down some of the large forest 
trees. It should be well watered daily, to represent the 
heavy dews and the rains, which latter are from May to 
November. Mr. Skinner recommends care to be taken 
that it mày not imbibe too much moisture, as its habitat 
is on branches of large trees seldom having any lichen, 
where the heavy rains do not lie. It does not seek too 
much shade, but rather, like * Epid. aurantiacum,’ ex- 
posed places. Climate 80° to 85», and sometimes 95°, 
during the day. Flowers in January and February ; 
vulgarly called * Flor de San Sebastian,’ from its being 
in season, and adorning the altars on that saint's day 
(20th of January).

overhanging a small stream which falls into the Rio S. 
Francisco, beyond the Diamond district. —— Flowers 
about 4 inches in diameter. Near C. superba; distin- 
guished by its shorter pseudobulbs, smaller leaves, larger 
and rounder middle lobe of the labellum, but particularly 
by the obliquely truncated lateral lobes which envelope 
only the lower half of the broadly winged column, and 
not the whole of it.— Gardner.
