Celebes: Goenoeng Babalombang. (Exp. L. van Vuuren, 

 Rachmat n. 479, August 1913). 



According to Schlechter's description and drawing this 

 is distinguished from the similar C. vagans Schltr. by its larger 

 almost terete fleshy leaves channelled above, tlie bracts which 

 are much longer than the ovary, differently coloured flowers. 

 Further the mentum is not appressed to the ovary, the lip 

 strongly curved and distinctly threelobed with a longer hj-- 

 pochyl, and the pollinia longer. 



The collector did not note the colour. In the dried flowers, 

 however, the petals were bordered red, whereas Schl éditer 

 describes the couleur of the flowers of his species as white, with 

 the apex of the lip pale yellow.
