far south as Buenos Ayres. Mr. Gardner found it on 
trees in marshes at the foot of the Organ mountains, (no. 
5635 of his herbarium). The size of the leaves is much 
affected by situation ; in all cases, however, they seem to er 
be broader at the base than at the point. So far as the 
character of Count Hoffmannsegg's C. vestalis can be 
judged of, that plant is the pale C. intermedia.

only know this plant from two flowers given me by Mr. 
Bateman. "They have much shorter and broader sepals

proportion between the middle lobe of the lip and its 
lateral lobes is quite different. Besides which, certain 
elevated lines run all the way from the base to near the . 
apex of the lip. The flowers are lilac; the tip with a m 
deep blotch within the margin. 5 | 
12. C. Forbesii (Lindl. Coll. Bot. sub t. 37. Bot. Reg. t. 
953. Lindl. no. 7. Bot. Cab. t. 1152.) ; caulibus elon- 
gatis teretibus, foliis 2 oblongis, sepalis petalisque lineari- 
oblongis obtusis subzequalibus, labelli trilobi lobo medio 
cordato subrotundo-ovato arguté dentato undulato apicu- 
lato: lateralibus minoribus rotundatis planis, lineis 4 
elevatis pone basin lamellaque membranaceá utrinque, ; 
columna basi lineis 5 elevatis quarum duz majores cris- !

Brazil.——Flowers greenish yellow. Lip with bright 
orange brown veins. Very near C. Loddigesii. 
13. C. maritima (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. sub t. 1919.) ; pedun- 
culo unifloro, caule subclavato, foliis binis ovalibus ob- 
tusis spatha parum longioribus, sepalis oblongis acutis, 
petalis lanceolatis falcatis obtusis, labello trilobo (nudo?) ; 
laciniis lateralibus erectis rotundatis intermediä dilatatá 
denticulatà emarginatá.—-—Sea-beaten rocks, Buenos 
Ayres.—— Flowers fine, rose-coloured, usually in threes ; 
many varieties. Its small leaves, dwarf habit, and one- 
flowered peduncle, mark this, of which I have only seen 
one specimen with a single flower. Possibly it is one of 
the many varieties of C. Loddigesii.
