I unwillingly consent, at the particular instance of Mr. Schomburgk, to 
allow this plant to bear my name, who have no title to the compliment. 
It is a most remarkable species, with green stiff leaves, smooth, and 
bordered with yellow. The stem is two feet high, panicled!, and covered 
with large hooded erect scales and bracts, which are of a pale brown 
colour, and densely clothed with brown glandular hairs. The sepals and 
petals are of the same colour; but the lip is dull green, with the sides 
streaked with the same colour, and the border turned inwards and down- 
wards; its sides appear to be brought together as if the labellum were 
compressed. The sterile stamen, and stigmatic part of the column, are 
covered with stiff hairs or bristles.

C. sepalis oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis extùs pubescentibus, petalis lan- 
ceolatis extùs pubescentibus in acumen longissimum caudiforme pro-

Hab. in Peruvia; In herbario Ruizii et Pavonii Lima conservato invenit 
Mathews, et Hookero misit. 
I have only seen one mutilated flower of this extraordinary plant, ob- 
tained at Lima, from an herbarium of Ruiz and Pavon, and sent by Ma- 
thews to Sir W. Hooker. The petals are nearly 8 inches long, while the 
sepals are about 5 inches long. 
93. There is also in Sir W. Hooker's herbarium a second species, taken 
by Mathews out of the same collection, but it is too imperfect to be intro- 
duced here.
