medium recurvis, dimidio inferiore virescente brunneo maculatis, superiore 
pallide roseo-albo, sepalis lateralibus in unum late ovatum labello suppositum 
et eo brevius connatis, petalis ligulatis patentissimis sepalo superiore duplo

A very near ally of (. Zowei, Lindl., also a native of the 
- Philippines ; so near indeed that Reichenbach observes that a 
casual observer might confuse the two, but after a careful 
examination of thirty-five flowers of that plant and five of 
this, he regards them as distinct, summing up the differences 
in C. Lowe as follows :—Upper sepal yellowish-green, with 
purplish lines and dots on the inner base; lower sepal (com- 
bined sepals) narrower and longer, yellow-green ; lip with 
less prominent auricles, and a toothed keel in the sinus; 
stigma round and bent. These distinctive characters are, it 
must be confessed, but slight, and would seem to indicate a 
difference of race rather than of what are usually held to 
constitute a species. It is named after his Excellency Dr. 
Ludwig Haynald, archbishop of Kaloesa, in Hungary, who 
Dr. Reichenbach justly commemorates as a zealous botanist, 
and an active promoter of science and art, and whose name 
will ever be most honourably connected with the development 
of Hungary. ; 
Tam indebted to Messrs. Veitch for the opportunity of 
figuring this plant, which flowered at Chelsea in February 
of the present year.
