 I suspect the section of the ovary is not quite cor- 

 rect, and think it should more resemble that of the 



ing plant, the deep orange coloured tops only ap- 

 pearing above ground. This colour is derived from 

 the bracts and calyx, the corolla being pale yellow, 

 nearly white. One of the anthers in the dissected 

 flower is represented 2-celled, this is, I believe, an 



This species in habit seems nearly allied to C. 

 suhacaulis, but is, I believe, quite a distinct species. 



The want of bracteoles in this genus, seems nearly 

 constant throughout, as I observe they are only once 

 noticed in any of Mr. Gardner's genuine species.

 with the other genera of the order, to exclude them 

 from the generic character, owing to some uncer-
