centre, ——Monstrous STATE. This has been observed 
to sport in the same way as C. tridentatum. A case is 
mentioned in the Botanical Register for 1840, misc. 157. 
where the scape became three times as stout as usual, 
the length of the raceme much reduced, the sepals and 
petals retaining their form and colour ; but the labellum, 
instead of being arrow-headed, flat, deep purple, toothed 
at the base, and placed in front of the flower, was of 
exactly the same form as that of Monachanthus viridis, 
hooded, undivided, and of a dull greenish colour tinged 
with dull purple. The column too, in like manner lost 
its cirrhi, shortened, and its lengthened beak disappeared.

versus saccato sub sacco cornu tripartito instructo, sub 
apice lamina lineari-lanceolatä aucto, columne cirrhis
