green veins, the petals ligulate, acute, ciliated, purplish 

 tinged with green, and the acute-lobed lip dull purple. This 

 species is not so showy in the blossoms as some others, but 

 the foliage is most beautiful. Two varieties have been 

 flowered by John Day, Esq., one having darker foliage 

 than the other, and the flowers also of a darker colour. —

C. DominiaiLlini, Bchb. f. — This is one of the many start- 

 ling results of hybridising realised by Mr. Dominy, whose 

 name it worthily bears ; it seems exactly intermediate be- 

 tween its parents, C. caricinuvi and C. caudatum. The leaves 

 are linear-elongate, broader than in C. caricinum, and the 

 flower stems are erect, bearing three flowers at one time ; 

 these are of yellowish green tinged with coppery brown, the 

 lip deep reddish brown in front with darker reticulations, 

 yellowish green behind, the incurved mouth also yellowish 

 with many dark purple dots in groups. In shape the flowers 

 resemble those of C. caricinum, whilst in size they are inter- 

 mediate. It is a valuable addition to this fine genus. —

€. Druryi, Beddome. — A most distinct and desirable species 

 ■of the stemless group, having stout ligulate acute leaves about 

 nine inches in length and an inch and a half in breadth. The 

 flowers are produced singly on an erect brownish hairy scape. 

 The dorsal sepal is greenish yellow, covered on the outside 

 with dark glandular hairs, and having a purplish brown stripe 

 down its centre ; the petals are broad ligulate, bent somewhat 

 downwards, greenish yellow, and like the dorsal sepal having a 

 purplish brown central stripe, marked also with small dark 

 spots near the base ; and the lip is pale yellow with numerous 

 brown spots on its channelled base. It was introduced by 

 Colonel H. Drury, and flowers duiing May and SxmQ.— India :
