 C. Percivaliana, Bchb. f. — This novelty is a distinct form 

 of the C. lahiata section, in the way of C. Mossicc, which it 

 resembles very much in growth. The flowers as far as we 

 have seen are, however, smaller than in that species, but are 

 darker and richer in colour in the best varieties. It is a 

 plant that varies very much. The sepals and petals are deep 

 blush, the lip much fringed, intense magenta-crimson margined 

 with blush pink, the throat richly marked with crimson and 

 golden yellow lines ; it flowers in January and February, — 

 Colombia.

 an orange stain in the throat, — Brazil. 



C. porphyroglossa, Linden et Bclib. f. — This is a most 

 distinct species, similar in growth to C. bicolor ; the sepals 

 and petals are Indian red sufl"used with yellow, the lip entirely 

 covered by lamellae and papulae, bright amethyst, the lateral 

 lobes covering the column pure white. — Brazil.
