CIRRHOPETALUM. 125 + 
C. picturatum.—A free-growing plant, small in stature. 
The pseudo-bulbs are ovoid, and the leaves deep green. The 
scapes are thin and erect, bearing dense, circular umbels of 
emerald-green flowers, spotted with red on the shorter 
divisions; the two lateral sepals are prolonged and united so 
as to form a sleeve-like tube. It flowers in spring, and 
was introduced a few years ago from Moulmein.

C. Thouarsiii—This is a pretty-flowered species, of 
somewhat robust growth. The smooth pseudo-bulbs are 
produced from a creeping rhizome or stem, and bear a 
single, oblong, blunt, dark green, leathery leaf. The 
flowers are produced in umbels, on the apex of the slender 
scape; the long, strap-shaped sepals are of a tawny orange 
colour, whilst the remainder of the flowers are yellow, 
dotted with red. It blossoms during the summer months. 
Native of Java, Manilla, the Society Islands, and the Isle 
of Bourbon.
