This very much resembles C. Loddigesii; but the flowers are twice as 
large, the sepals are dusky brown, with a few reddish lines, and the petals 
greenish yellow; while all the parts are destitute of spots except the 
middle lobe of the labellum.

I have been scarcely able to ascertain. any thing satisfactory as to the 
structure of the Pollen masses. They appeared, in the only specimen I 
examined, to be like those of Cymbidium.
