CCELOGTNE. 141 



C. crhtata citrina. — This is a very distinct variety ; it in- 

 variably flowers some two or three weeks later than the pre- 

 ceding, which is a decided advantage, as it prolongs the season 

 of flower, and it also difi'ers in having the centre of the lip 

 stained a delicate lemon-colour, and not yellow as in the 

 ordinary form of the species. Native of Nepaul. 



C corrugata. — This is a very pretty species, and interesting, 

 as being one of the cool Orchids from the East Indies ; it is 

 found in the Neilgherry Hills, in Madras, and probably in many 

 other of the hilly districts of India, and will grow freely and 

 bloom with Odontoglossums. It is a free compact-growing 

 plant, producing lovely pure white flowers of considerable 

 size ; the lip is yellow inside, striped with orange ; it should 

 be grown in a pot, with an abundance of drainage. 



C. Cumingii. — A pretty species from Singapore. Sepals 

 and petals white ; lip bright yellow, with white down the 

 centre. It lasts long in beauty. 



C. fuscesens. — A beautiful species from the warm parts of 

 India, and one of the finest of the genus. The pseudobulbs 

 are about three inches long ; leaves in pairs, broadest in the 

 middle, contracted at each end. Sepals and petals white, 

 shaded with yellow ; lip cinnamon in the centre, streaked with 

 orange and edged with white ; it flowers in autumn and 

 winter, and lasts in bloom for a considerable time. 



(7. Gardneriana. — A very good species from the IQiasia 

 Hills, growing about a foot high ; the flowers are white tinged 

 with yellow, and produced on a drooping spike. It blooms 

 during the winter months, and lasts three or four weeks in 

 good condition. ^ • • 



C. Gowerii. — This elegant and delicate species was named 

 and described by Professor Reichenbach in the Gardeners' 

 Chronicle in the spring of 1869. The pseudobulbs and leaves 

 resemble those of C. ocellata ; the racemes are pendulous.
