Pseudobulbs -f in., curved ; rhizome as thick as a duck's quill. Leaves 1 in., 

 sessile. Scape fin., base sheathed; bracts not seen; flowers 1^ in. diam. ; sepals 

 7-9-nerved; petals acuminate ; lip narrowed at the base, much the same shape as

Pseudobulbs 1-3 in., crowded, ovoid oblong obpyriform or subglobose ; sheaths 

 broad, rigid. Leaves '6 1U in., petioled, variable in breadth. Scape not sheathed ; 

 bracts deciduous ; sepals 1- in. long ; lip with a row of tubercles on each side of the 

 midlobe, markings and spots very variable. Capsule 2 m., narrowly pyritorm, 

 angles obtuse. 'Unit this is Roxburgh's Cyvnbict. nitidum (the assumed type of 

 Lincl ley's Caeloffyne nitida) is evidenced by a specimen so named from the Calcutta 

 Garden, and by the figure in lioxburgh's diawings, wherein, however, the colouring 

 of the lip is imaginary. Lindley confounded it with oc/tracea, which flowers from 

 the unformed pseuuobulb. VVallich s C. ocellata is a mixture ot nit in a. oc/u-acea, 

 and cristata ; his habitat of tSirmore is an error, as is Lindley's of Sikkim, which 

 applies to oc/tracea.
