C. Rothschildianum.—This is one of the handsomest 
of the C. Stonei group. Prof. Reichenbach described it as 
being “‘one of the most astonishing introductions ever 
seen.” It has stout, green, glossy leaves 2ft. long by 24in. 
wide. Scape stout, 1ft. or more high, reddish, bearing three 
or more flowers, which are quite as large as those of 
C. prestans; dorsal sepal oblong, acute at the apex, 
yellowish, with black-purple stripes and a white margin; 
petals narrow, wavy at the base, yellowish green, with 
dark longitudinal lines and blotches; pouch as in C. Stonei, 
almost leathery in texture, cinnamon-coloured, reddish at 
the mouth. The staminode in this species is very remark- 
able; it is curved and formed not unlike a crane’s beak 
and head. Introduced from New Guinea in 1888. It 
requires the same treatment as C. Stonei. Syn. C. neo- 
guineense.

C. Sanderianum.—A most remarkable and _ beautiful 
species, which has lately been introduced from the Malay 
Archipelago by Mr. F. Sander, after whom it is named. 
In habit and leaf-characters it is similar to C. philip- 
pinense. Flower-scapes stout, erect, 1ft. or more high, 
black-purple and velvety, each bearing from one to four 
flowers, which are as large as those of C. philippinense; 
dorsal sepal triangular-concave, hairy outside, the front 
beautifully striped with brownish crimson on a pale green 
ground; the petals, which form the most striking feature 
in the flower, are curved back at the base, and 
thence extend spirally downwards, ultimately lengthening
