white on the margin on the upper side, where the lateral lobes

 Fig.— Paxt. FL Gard,, i. t. 24, fig. 2. 



C. Lemoniana, Lindley. — A pretty species in the way of 

 C. Mossm, but distinct in its growth, the leaves being shorter. 

 It grows about a foot high, and has light green foliage. The 

 flowers are pale pink, with yellow in the centre of the lip, and 

 are produced during the summer, lasting for three or four weeks 

 in bloom. Reichenbach includes it under C. lahiata. — Brazil.

C. lobata, Lindley. — A charming species, very much like 

 C. crispa in growth, but shorter in both stem and leaf The 

 flowers are of an uniform deep rich rose. It is a shy- 

 flowering plant, producing its blooms in May and June, and 

 continuing about three weeks in perfection. This plant, which 

 one seldom meets with at exhibitions on account of its shy- 

 flowering properties, is exceptionally often seen in great 

 perfection at the Manchester shows, so famed for their 

 Orchidic displays. There is a variety called C. lobata superba, 

 which flowers more freely, and its spikes are larger. We 

 exhibited a fine plant of this variety with seven spikes of 

 blossom at our great International Horticultural Exhibition in 

 .—Brazil.
