able for its rich clear yellow flowers, which are very 
sweet scented. 
8 C. pumila (Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 3656. Lindl. Bot. Reg. 
1844. t. 5. C. marginata, Hort.); caulibus brevibus 
ovalibus sulcatis, foliis solitariis ovato-oblongis acutis, 
pedunculo unifloro, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis rectis, pe- 
talis ovalibus 3-pló latioribus, labello obovato indiviso 
apice plicato, lineis 3 elevatis in medio. Brazil, 
(Gardner, 657).—— This is said to be from the Esse- 
quibo, but that appears to be a mistake. It isa very 
distinct species, with peculiarly thick acute solitary leaves, 
and deep rose-coloured flowers. The lip is bordered 
with a pale colour, which is sometimes almost white. 
9. C. Pinellii(Hort.); facie¡C. pumile sed sepalis acutis albidis, 
petalis ovatis roseis, labello magis crispo, columná apice 
dentibus 2 crenatis auctá.—— Brazil.——Very near C. 
pumila, but the sepals are white, the petals almost ex- 
actly ovate, the lip more crisp and of a brighter colour. 
Requires further examination. J

—— Brazil and Buenos Ayres.——Flowers sometimes 
clear lilae with a whitish lip, sometimes nearly white with a 
crimson lip, with many intermediate gradations. It always 
appeared doubtful whether C. intermedia could be dis- 
tinguished, and more experience in estimating the value 
of characters among these plants leads to the conclusion 
that C. ovata must also be reduced to the same species. 
It seems to be very common in Brazil, and to occur as
