166 ORCHIDS: 
with dull brown, and veined with green; the blossoms last 
six weeks in full beauty, if not sprinkled with water from 
the syringe. This plant seems to have become extinct in 
a wild state, as no new importations of it have been 
made, although it is one that is much sought after by 
cultivators. It is very rare in English collections, and, 
from its slowness of growth and impatience of division, 
is likely to remain so. It thrives best when placed in a 
warm, moist greenhouse, on a shelf near the glass, where 
it requires shade from sunshine. It is a native of Assam, 
and was introduced in 1857.

C. Godefroye.—A delightful little plant, similar in habit 
and general characters to C. niveum, differing chiefly in 
the markings of its flowers. It has short, rather fleshy 
leaves, seldom over 5in. in length, the upper surface 
coloured in waves of light and dark green, the under side 
usually purple. Scapes 2in. to 4in. high, bearing one 
or two flowers; dorsal sepal almost round; petals oblong, 
deflexed, nearly as large as the sepal, all coloured creamy 
white, with large and small spots of brown- purple ; 
pouch medium size, similarly coloured, but the spots 
are reduced to minute dots. This is greatly admired 
by everybody. Its flowers are developed in summer, 
and remain fresh a long time. Introduced from islands 
near Siam, in 1883. It requires the same treatment as 
C. concolor.

C. Haynaldianum.—A large-flowered, handsome species, 
related to C. Lowii. The leaves are rft. long, leathery, and 
green. The scapes are about 2ft. high, green, bearing two 
to six flowers; dorsal sepal oval, pale green, with blotches 
of brown at the base, rosy towards the apex; lower sepal
