C. pentalophus, with its varieties above quoted from Dr 
CanpDo_Le, was discovered by Dr. Coutrer in Mexico, but 
it does not appear from the descriptions that its flowers 
were known previous to the blossoming of the present in- 
dividual in Mr. Macxte’s collection at Norwich. The 
flower is exceedingly handsome, of a fine rose colour, 
paler and almost white in the centre, where are the yellow 
anthers, and rising above them is the cluster of dark blue- 
green styles. The germen is prickly like the stem.
