C. guttata lilacina, Bchb. /.— This beautiful variety was 

 flowered by Sir T. Lawrence, Bart., M.P., in June, 1881. It 

 is quite distinct from the type, the sepals and petals being 

 blush white, irregularly spotted with magenta, and the lip 

 large and well fringed, of a bright magenta- crimson. It 

 flowers in June and July. — Brazil. 



C. guttata Prinzii, Rchb. f. — A very beautiful and distinct 

 form, growing about a foot high, and having white sepals and 

 petals, which are flushed with rosy magenta, and faintly 

 spotted with a darker tint of the same colour, the broadly 

 expanded deeply crenate-lobed lip being of a bright purplish 

 crimson. It flowers in June and July. Prof. Reichenbach 

 quotes, as a synonym of this, the C. amethystoglossa of British 

 gardens, a view which his figure, here quoted, does not appear 

 to confirm ; nor does the habit of the plant, for C. ametlujsto- 

 (jlossa grows as much as three feet in height. C. guttata 

 Keteleeri seems from the figure to be the same as the present 

 variety. — Brazil.

C. guttata Williamsiana, Bchb./.— A fine variety, flowered 

 by W. Lee, Esq., Leatherhead. In this the lip is pale rosy 

 lilac, with dark rosy purple front lobe ; the sepals and petals 

 dull purple, faintly striped towards the margins, and in some 

 cases spotted with deep purple. Flowers in June. — Brazil. 



C. Harrisoniaua, Bateman. — A free -growing Orchid, attain- 

 ing the height of twenty inches, and blooming in abundance 

 from July to October. The flowers, which will last in good 

 condition for three weeks, are of a beautiful rose colour, 

 having on the lip a slight tinge of yellow. This is a noble 

 plant, and amply repays the care required to grow it well. — 

 Brazil : Rio Jayieiro.

C. Harrisoniaua violacea, Hort. — A charming variety, which 

 grows about two feet high, and makes two growths in one 

 year, flowering on both, in July, August, and September ; it 

 will last in bloom four weeks if keep in the coolest house. 

 The sepals and petals are of a beautiful violet, and the lip is 

 of the same colour, with a little yellow in the centre. It
