not villous ; and in the lip not having a central ridge, which 

 is conspicuous in C. picturatum. 



A native of Manilla, whence it was received by Messrs. 

 Loddiges, with whom our drawing was made in March 1841. 



Fig. 1. represents a flower much magnified, with the long 

 lateral sepals cut off; the petals are by no means well figured ; 

 they, as well as the upper sepal, taper into a fine bristle-like 

 point. Fig. 2. is the labellum. 



It may be potted in turfy heath-mould, mixed with pieces 

 of small potsherds ; or it may be suspended on a block of 

 wood, with a little sphagnum about its roots to retain moisture. 

 Like many species of Pleurothallis, Stelis, &c. this requires a 

 humid atmosphere in winter as well as in summer ; but it 

 should always be remembered, that the more light and heat, 

 the more water is required. During the warm summer 

 months, when the temperature of the house (although shaded) 

 can scarcely be kept below 80", the water required will be 

 twice as much as is necessary in winter, when the temperature 

 should never be raised above 50° or 55° by artificial means.
