C. calopliylllini, Rchh. f. — This hybrid was raised by 

 Messrs. Veitch between C. barbatum and C. venustum. The 

 leaves are large, with beautiful dark tessellation. The dorsal 

 sepal is similar to that of C. barbatum, but has greener nerves ; 

 the petals are like those of C. venustum, having the same 

 wart-like bodies, and strong bristles on the margins ; the 

 lip in shape and colour is akin to that of C. venustum, but 

 is much browner than in that species. — Garden hybrid. 



C. caluruui, Echh. f. — A very handsome noble and free- 

 flowering hybrid raised between C. longijiorum and C. Sedeni 

 in Messrs. Veitch's nursei-y. It forms a thick tuft of elongate 

 channelled acute green leaves, with tall branched brownish 

 red stems, bearing in succession large showy flowers, the 

 dorsal sepal of which is pale green with longitudinal purple 

 ribs, the petals two and a half inches long, pale green edged 

 with rosy red near the base, and wholly bright rosy red at 

 the apex, narrower and more twisted than in C. Sedeni ; the 

 lip is deep wine crimson externally, and very handsome. It 

 belongs to the Selenipedium group. — Garden hybrid.
