C. ParisMi, Bchh.f. — A very handsome and distinct novelty, 

 having fusiform fleshy stems, and distichous foliage similar to 

 that of C. eburneuni, but broader. The flowers, which are 

 sweet-scented, and produced on upright spikes generally three 

 together, are about the same size as those of C. eburneuni. 

 The sepals and petals are creamy white, the lip white, with 

 an orange-coloured central band, and ornamented by nume- 

 rous violet-purple spots ; the centre of the front portion of 

 the lip is of a bright orange-colour. This species is ex- 

 tremely rare ; on one occasion we paid as much as a hundred 

 guineas for a single plant. It flowers during July and Augusts
