This differs from boih C. macuiata and lagenaria in ihe form of its pseudobulbs, 

 in ihc narrowness- of ihe sepals and petals , and especialiy in the long fringes Ihat 

 border the lip , and which also occur upon six of the veins on the inside of the lip. 

 The bract too is quite dilTerent, petaloid and pale violet at flrst, ihen shrinking and 

 shrivelling till it leaves ihe peduncle naked , remaining at ihe base of the peduncle 

 like an old-fashioned leather buskin. Flowers white wiih orange veius and spots oa 

 ihe lip. Dr. Hooker observes that the lip is very distinctly adnate to the base of the 

 column , and ihat ihe llowers vary somewhat in colour and spotling.
