8. C. purum (Nees ab Esenb. Plantarum in h. med. Bonnens. 
Icon. p. 1. t. 1. L. no. 5.); folüs lineari-lanceolatis, 
perianthio patente obsoleté punctato, labello ventricoso 
apice incurvo concolore ciliato integerrimo.—— Brazil. 
—— Much like the two last, from which its very narrow 
leaves seem to distinguish it. Flowers green, and 
scarcely spotted, about as large as those of C. Hookeri. 
9. C. Hookeri (Lindl. Coll. Bot. t. 40. Gen. & Sp. no. 3.); 
foliis lanceolatis triplicatis, perianthiis globosis, labello 
apice incurvo: lateribus denticulatis.——.Brazil.—— 
Flowers 'small, yellowish brown. Petals green. Lip 
green, yellow at the point, spotted with purple inside. 
10. C. globiflorum (Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 3949.) spicá 
elongatà multiflorä, perianthio globoso, sepalis petalisque 
subconformibus ovatis acutis concavis arctissimé imbri- 
catis, labello hemisphzrico-globoso, ore contracto oblongo 
inferne dilatato basi columns longitudine denticulato, 
columne brevis setis rectiusculis.—— Brazil.——Much 
like C. Hookeri, and perhaps a variety of it. The sepals 
and petals are olive-brown, and closely applied to a 
glaucous globular labellum, the greater part of which is 
uncovered. 
11. C. longifolium (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1839. misc. 154. 
Sertum Orchid. t. 31.); foliis longissimis gramineis, 
racemo cylindraceo pendulo multifloro, sepalis ovatis 
subrotundis petalorum conformium dorso applicitis, la- 
bello urceolari a tergo incurvo limbo truncato apiculato 
intus cereaceo glabro margine fimbriato.—— Demerara. 
—— Leaves very long and narrow. Flowers bright 
orange, a little bordered with violet, in a drooping ra- 
ceme, over which they are closely packed for the length 
of a foot or more; they are extremely beautiful, and the 
species is beyond comparison the handsomest of its 
genus. 
12. C. discolor (Monachanthus discolor Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 
" 
t. 1735. M. Bushnani Hooker, Bot. Mag. t. 3832. 
MM. roseo-albus Hooker, 1. c. t. 3786.) ; racemo laxo mul- 
tifloro, labello hemispherico marginibus planis medio fim- 
briatis.—— Brazil. —— Leaves rather narrow. Flowers 
in a loose erect raceme, dull pale purple, with the inside 
of the lip yellow. They vary in colour to yellowish 
green, or French-white ; and sometimes the lip, which
