A pretty species of this interesting genus, from the Chirrec 

 district of the Khosea hills of India, where it was found by 

 Mr. Gibson, when in that country on his botanical mission 

 from his Grace the Duke of Devonshire. It has firm, bright- 

 green, not shining, leaves of a leathery texture, and very pale 

 greenish yellow flowers, whose lip has a yellow centre, and a 

 border beautifully streaked, and spotted with crimson. We 

 shall take an early opportunity of publishing a figure of it. 



179. ERIA bipunctata ; (Tonsse) caulibus ovalibus compressis, foliis lanceo- 

 latis acuminatis 11-nerviis, racemis axillaribus cylindraceis niultifloris, 

 bracteis ovatis acuminatis reflexis, alabastris globosis, sepalis petalisque 

 ovatis obtusiusculis, labelli trilobi lsevis laciniis lateralibus intermedio 

 carnoso convexo rotundato angustioribus. 



This plant w r as found by Mr. Gibson in the same locality 

 as the last, and flowered with it at Chatsworth. It has the 

 flowers of a Liparis, and the foliage of an Eria, so far as 

 general aspect goes. The stems are flat, oval, partially 

 covered by the sheaths of fallen leaves, when full blown 

 between two and three inches long; at first they are green, 

 but they become when old of a light purplish brown colour. 

 The leaves, in size and form, are very like those of Eria flori- 

 bunda, to which this species is nearly allied. The flowers 

 are arranged in cylindrical drooping racemes, rather shorter 

 than the leaves ; they are perfectly free from downiness, 

 except just at the base of the raceme, and are about the size 

 of a grain of pepper, very pale, yellowish white, with the tip 

 of the column purple, and the point of the labellum deep 

 yellow, by which means the flowers seem as if they had two 

 spots upon them when they are looked at from the front.

This plant, which resembles C. maculatum in habit, but 

 has a yellow lip, the form of which is that of a wedge, with
