 1844. sub. 5. This has a slender stem. terminated by two narrow leaves , something 

 like liiose of C. bieolor . but shorter. Sepals Iwo inches and a half long. oblong. 

 olive green. motiled wiih rich brown spots. Petals obovate , very much rounded at 

 tbe point, and narrowed to the base; wavy at the margin and of the sume colour as 

 the sepals. Slrongly contrasted wilh ihe dingy colours of these parts is the lip, of 

 a pure while at the sides and points and of a glorious orange spotted wilh crimson 

 in the middle ; its lateral lobes curve over ihe column , but are divided deeply from 

 the niiddle lobe by a wide slit ; the middle lobe itself has its surface broken up into 

 numerous granulations. Somelhing in the way ofC.guttala. It is scarcely possible ihat 

 ihe plant fig. iii (he Bot. Mag. as a variety of C. guttata (Russeliana) is this species. 

 The Brazilian origin attributed to it is no doubt erroneous , like that of many piants 

 from the VVoburn coliection.
