C. Mossise Blakei, Moore. — Sepals and petals deep blush, 

 the latter frilled towards the points ; lip orange-bufF at the 

 base, and mottled violet-rose in front, the markings passing 

 out nearly to the edge, so that there is no sharply-defined 

 pale frill. 



C. Mossise COmplanata, Moore. — A large-flowered variety, 

 remarkable for the almost total absence of frilliness on the 

 petals, and especially on the lip ; sepals and petals rather 

 deep blush ; lip broad and spread out at the apex, a good 

 deal stained with orange at the base, but faintly mottled and 

 veined with purple over the centre, leaving a broad pale blush- 

 tinted edge. 



C. MoSSise COnspicua, Moore. — Large-flowered ; sepals and 

 petals blush ; lip richly marked with violet-rose, dashed with 

 orange at the base, and having an irregular broadish pallid 

 border ; it blooms in great profusion. 



C. Mossise elegans, Moore. — Rather small in size, but lively 

 and effective in colouring ; sepals and petals deep blush ; lip 

 small, with bright orange-yellow base, and the central portion 

 marked sparingly with veins of violet-rose surrounded by a 

 broad pale edge. 



C. Mossise fimbriata, Moore. — One of the largest-flowered 

 of the whole series, and prettily though not heavily marked ; 

 sepals and petals rather pale blush, the latter broad and a 

 good deal frilled throughout ; lip very much frilled, marked 

 with a bright orange stain at the base, and in front decorated 

 with broken veins of violet-rose on a white ground, the 

 extreme edge being blush ; the lip is thus distinctly edged 

 with blush. 



C. Mossiae flammea, Moore. — Rather small, but richly 

 coloured, the petals and lateral sepals less spreading than 

 in other forms ; sepal and petals deep blush, the latter frilled 

 towards the tip ; lip small, very deep rich orange at the 

 opening, dense violet-rose in the centre, the orange inter- 

 mingling therewith, and producing a fiery crimson, the purple 

 broken up with white in front, and irregularly margined with 

 blush. 



C. Mossiae grandiflora, Moore.— A large-flowered variety ; 

 sepals and petals blush, the petals less frilled than in some
