Common Swift Moth—continued. 
applications of lime and soot (one part of the former to two 
parts of the latter) in spring would be of service. In 
gardens wood-ashes and soot scattered freely round the 
infested plants, and then hoed in, would render the ground 
undesirable. Insectivorous birds, again, would destroy large 
numbers if the soil round the plants could be hoed in spring 
as the laryee were about to change into pup. See also

COMOSE. Growing in tufts; bearing a tuft. 
COMPARETTIA. This genus embraces six species, 
natives of the Andes of Sonth America. Sepals erecto-

produced at base into a long, slender spur which is free of 
the petals; lip continuous with the base of the column, 
produced at base into two long, linear spurs, the lateral 
lobes rather broad, erect, the middle one spreading, very 
broad. To the species described on p. 366, Vol. I., the 
following should be added : 
C. rosea is a form of C. falcata.

the front lobe sub-quadrate and emarginate, about Ijin. wide, 
with a yery short claw and a small keel between the basal 
auricles ; spur minutely puloee, upwards of 14in. long ; racemes 
loose. Ecuador. A beautiful species. (W. O. A. y., t. 233.)
