Botanist of Queensland, as C. graveolens, also from Sir W. 
MacGregor’s specimens. Mr. Bailey observed that flies are 
attracted by the strong, heavy scent of the flowers, and, 
being entrapped between the lip and column, perish 
there. The specimen here represented was presented to 
the Royal Gardens, Kew, by Col. Clarke, in 1893. It 
flowered in a tropical house in March, 1897, producing 
five racemes. :
