rarely one or four. C. ocellata, Lindl., differs only in the 

 shorter rounder obtuse mid-lobe of the lip. G. brevifolia 

 also diners in the rounded mid-lobe, and in the lip being 

 pubescent within. C. ochracea is a more delicate plant, with 

 smaller more delicate flowers, and a differently sculptured 

 mid-lobe of the lip. 



Professor Reichenbach has published in " The Gardener's 

 Chronicle" (1878), p. 8, a " Gcelogyne heteroglossa, n. var.," 

 which he suggests may possibly be a mule between corym- 

 bose/, and brevifolia or ocellata, of which he says that the 

 flowers are larger than in corymbosa, of the same colours, 

 but the tips of the side lobe of the lip overlap the base of 

 the very broad (not narrow lanciform) mid-lobe, and there 

 are three membranous denticulate keels from the base of 

 the lip to that of the mid-lobe, and the areas between the 

 side lobes are brown, each brown one ending in a yellow 

 one ; there is also a four-lobed angled deep yellow area in 

 the very base of the broad middle lobe with a dark brown 

 narrow border. Much of this description reminds me of 

 C. brevifolia, though there is nothing very foreign to 

 corymbosa in it. 



G. corymbosa is a native of forests of the Sikkim and 

 Bhotan Himalaya, between 5000 and 8000 feet, and is 

 not uncommon in the Khasia Mountains. The specimen 

 figured was sent from the Kollong rock, Khasia Mountains, 

 by C. B. Clarke, Esq., F.R.S. It flowered in the Royal 

 Gardens in May of the present year. It is a very large- 

 flowered form. — J. J). H.
