CYPKIPEDIUM. 153 



C. Dommianum. — This plant is one of the many startHng 

 results of hybridising, by Mr. Dominy, whose name it worthily 

 bears ; its parents are C. caricinum and C caudatinn, and it 

 seems exactly intermediate between the two. It bears three 

 flowers on the spike at one time, which are somewhat of the 

 colour of those of C. caudatinn and of the shape of those of 

 C. caricinum, whilst in size they are intermediate. It is a 

 valuable addition to this fine genus. Garden hybrid. 



C. euryandrum. — A very distinct hybrid between C. Stonei 

 and C. barhqtum, sepals and petals somewhat similar to those 

 of C. Stonei, lip like C. harhatum, but much larger. This 

 species waa raised by Mr. Seden. 



C. Fairrieanum. — A beautiful and distinct species from 

 Assam, with leaves three inches long, of a light green colour, 

 blooms very freely during the autumn months, and will con- 

 tinue in perfection six weeks. The dorsal sepal is propor- 

 tionately large ; the petals white, striped with green and 

 purple ; the lip large, brownish green and purple. This plant 

 is seldom seen doing well ; I believe the reason to be that it 

 usually gets too much heat, for with me it succeeds best in the 

 Cattleija house. 



C. Harrisiannm.—rThis is one of the hybrids raised by 

 Mr. Dominy — between C. harhatum and C. viUosum, and the 

 result has been a plant exactly intermediate. The leaves are 

 marked like those of the first-named plant, and have the 

 polished appearance of the latter. The flowers are larger 

 than those of C. harhatum, yet inferior in size to C. villosum, 

 upper sepal broad and shining, dark purple, tipped with white ; 

 petals rich purple, and the lip claret-coloured, tinged with 

 green. 



C. Jiirsutissimum. — A beautiful Indian species, with pale 

 green foliage ten inches long. The flowers proceed from the 

 centre of the young growths, on a stem ten inches high ; the
