C. Limmingliei, Echh.f. and Linden. — A charming species 

 with fusiform stems, which grow a foot high, broadly lanceo- 

 late nervose leaves, and drooping racemes of delicate flowers, 

 which are white heavily tipped with pale purplish-rose, and 

 are produced very freely along with the young growth in 

 May and June, continuing in perfection for about three 

 weeks. The lip has the tall oblique side lobes yellowish 

 externally, and yellow striped with red inside, and the 

 roundish-oblong front lobe pale purplish-rose blotched and 

 striped with deep purple, while the disk bears five lamellae 

 digitately disposed. This makes a good exhibition plant, 

 but requires a cool house to keep it back for late flowering. —
