considerations I have till lately refrained from saying any 

 thing about the plant now figured. It has in some respects 

 so much the appearance of C. maculatum, that when 1 first 

 received it from Mr. Veitch of Exeter, in March 1842, I 

 hesitated whether to regard it as a varietv or a distinct 

 species. A plant, however, obtained from Brazil direct by 

 Messrs. Loddiges (Cat. no. 890) has given me courage to 

 regard it as the latter. It has a short raceme of much larger 

 greenish -yellow flowers, with broad chocolate-brown blotches, 

 and its lip is quite remarkable, having 5 finger-like lobes, 

 and no more, instead of the lateral comb-like fringes of 

 C. maculatum.
