C. Dayana, Echb. f. — In this species the pseudobulbs are 

 long, narrow, pyriform, with stalked oblong acuminate leaves. 

 The long pendulous inflorescence bears nearly two dozen 

 flowers, of which the sepals and petals are ligulate-acute, and 

 the lip broad, three-lobed. The colour is a light ochre-yellow, 

 with numerous dark brown collateral longitudinal broad stripes 

 on the lateral lobes of the lip, and on the same light ochre 

 ground a crescent-shaped half ring of dark brown opening 

 towards the base on the middle lobe ; two plaited keels run 

 from the base of the lip to the base of the mid- lobe, where 

 they are divided into six similar keels, covered with the most 

 lovely denticulated undulations. It flowers during the sum- 

 mer months. — Borneo. 



C. elata, Lindley. — This is a very old species, introduced 

 some fifty years ago, but it is nevertheless a real beauty. 

 The flowers, which are of medium size and drooping, are 

 borne in erect racemes, which spring with the sword-shaped 

 striated leaves from the apex of the tall oblong angulate 

 pseudobulbs, and have the sepals and petals narrowish pure 

 white, and the lip white with a forked yellow band in the 

 centre, and two longitudinal deep orange crisped crests on the 

 disk. It is found at an altitude of 8,000 to 9,000 feet on the 

 slopes of Tongoo, near Darjeeling. It flowers during April and 

 May, and should be grown in the cool house. — North India.

 three to four inches long, the broad oblong plicate leaves in 

 pairs, and the flowers in short nodding five to eight-flowered 

 racemes. The sepals and petals are brownish green, the dorsal 

 sepal broadest, and the lip marked with four cinnamon spots,
