Pseudobulb 2-5 in., ovoid, obtusely angled, leafing after flowering. Leaves 

 12-18 in., lanceolate, glabrous. Scape 12-18 in., stout below; sheaths few, large, 

 acute; bracts -1 in. ; pedicels very slender with ovary H in.; sepals l-l-.V in.; 

 petals obtuse or retuse and apiculate ; lip variable, exceeding the sepals ; side lobes 

 sometimes absent. The hybrids between this and G. rosea, C. labrosa, and others, 

 are very numerous.

Stem 4-6 in., stout ; base pseudobulbous, sheathed. Leaves 6-10 in., long- 

 petioled, elliptic, acuminate. Scape from amongst young leaves, 610 in. ; bracts 

 \ in., ovate-lanceolate; pedicels with ovary |-| in., stout ; sepals in. long, some- 

 times streaked with red; side lobes sometimes incumbent on the midlobe; spur 

 glabrous or puberulous. Capsule 1| in. C. galeata is founded on a drawing of 

 mine, made in Sikkim, of a faded specimen with drooping flowers, and hence 

 connivent sepals. The broad midlobe of the lip distinguishes this from G. herbacea.
