Such, as we have given above, are the specific characters and 
description of Dr. Lindley of the very curious C. Naso. Of that 
identical state of the plant I have seen no specimen, nor have I 
seen any figure. Drawings of the two kinds of flowers here 
given (our ‘Tab. 4792, fig. 1 and 2, from the gardens at Syon), 
were submitted to Dr. Lindley, who considers them to be varie- 
ties of C. Naso; as such we represent them, with a feeling how- 
ever upon our minds that they may all be sports of the origi- 
nal C. tridentatum ; the foliage and pseudo-bulbs seem to be the 
same in all. 
Var. 1. Floribus viridibus, labelli apice 3-4-lobo, lobis lanceolatis, sepalis pe- 
talisque integerrimis. Tan. Nosrr. 4792, fig. 1. 
Var. 2. Sepalis viridibus integerrimis, petalis magnis grosse lacerato-serratis, 
disco 2-3-dentatis (labelloque) purpureo-sanguineis, labello apice lobo soli- 
tario seu proboscideo. Tas. Nosrr. 4792, fig. 2. 
Our second variety, in the proboscideous apex of the labellum, 
approaches perhaps nearest to the normal form of C@. Naso.
