The leaves are certainly broader in the original C. macu- 
latum ; and there the lip has, according to the figure and 
description, two lamelle at the base, and a short, distinct 
little horn on each side of those plates. Our plant has 
narrow leaves, and four plates on the labellum, united 
together at their base: and the two lateral ones represent 
the cornicula described by Dr. Linptey. In other respects 
the two plants sufficiently accord : and I can scarcely doubt 
but that they are slight varieties of one and the same spe- 
cies. The flowers are prettily marked but destitute of 
fragrance, and worthy of a place in every Orchideous 
collection. 
Descr. Pseudo-bulbs ovate, compressed, four-angled, 
green, smooth, more or less sheathed at the base with two 
leaves. ‘T'wo others spring from the apex of the bulb, five 
to six inches long, narrow-ligulate, striated, scarcely coria- 
ceous. Scape about ten inches high, arising from the base 
of the bulb within one of the leaves, and bearing a raceme 
of six to nine flowers. Petals and sepals nearly equal, 
spreading, rather fleshy, ovate acute, or somewhat acuinl- 
nated, yellow-green, with deep purple blotches. Lip ob- 
long-ovate apiculate, three-lobed, striated, the lateral lobes 
near the base small, the intermediate one ovate, the apex 
reflexed :—the colour is sulphur yellow, the margin on 
each side at the base marked with a red line: the disk at 
the base bearing four, parallel lamella or plates, edged 
with brown, of which the two lateral ones are the shortest. 
Column short, with two projecting wings above in front. 
Anther-case hemispherical, yellow. Pollen-masses tw0, 
with a minute gland.
