fi. a) represents a plant with opposite or ternate subsessile 
leaves, and with a considerably diverse lip. No doubt the 
species now figured has been, in various collections, referred 
to C. virgata. The flowers of C. Forgetii are smaller than 
is usual in the genus and are not very. conspicuous in 
colour; they are, however, very freely produced, and on 
this account impart a distinct horticultural value to the 
plant. They are remarkable from the fact that the pouched 
lower lip points upwards. At Kew plants placed in an 
open sunny border have grown well and flowered freely 
in summer, but have not withstood the winter in the open. 
Plants grown in pots in a greenhouse have, however, 
flowered almost as freely and proved equally attractive.

3-14 in, usually 3-1 in. wide, obtuse or subacute, irregu- 
larly crenate serrate, base rounded or somewhat cuneate, 
dark green and shortly pubescent above, paler beneath 
and nearly glabrous, but beset with sessile glands except 
along the pubescent nerves and veins ; petiole 4-4 in. long, 
rather closely hairy. Cymes at the ends of the stem and 
branches, forming an oblong or pyramidal lax many- 
flowered panicle 6-8 in. long. Pedicels slender, 4-4 in. 
long, shortly but rather closely pubescent. Calyx about 
2 lin. long, 4-lobed; lobes wide-ovate or suborbicular, 
subequal, 15-2 lin. long, 1-14 lin. wide, obtuse or rounded, 
quite entire, densely hairy or villous outside and on the 
margins, beset with sessile glands. Corolla 4—5 lin. long, 
23-4 lin, wide, pale yellow except for a large reddish 
brown blotch inside the lower lip; lips ciliate at the base, 
the upper cucullate about as long as the calyx, 24 lin. wide 
at the base, the lower lip obovoid globose, 3-44 lin. long, 
erect and adpressed to the upper lip, barely open as far as 
the middle, with a short broad claw. Stamens rather longer. 
than the upper lip of the corolla; filaments sparingly hairy. 
Ovary ovoid, densely glandular papillose; style hardly 
1 lin. long.
