C. LawrenceanUDl, Behb. f. — This remarkably handsome 

 species ^Yas introduced by Mr. F. W. Bnrbidge to the collec- 

 tion of the Messrs. Veitch, and was named in honour of Sir 

 Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., a gentleman whose great love of 

 Orchids fully entitles him to such a compliment. It is one of the 

 stemless kinds, with distichous broadly oblong acute channelled 

 leaves, about a foot long, and of a most ornamental character, 

 being tessellated with a bright whitish green on a dark green 

 ground, the markings having a very distinct and striking 

 appearance. The flowers are produced singly or in pairs on an 

 upright purple downy scape, and are large and showy, the dorsal 

 sepal being very broadly ovate, white striped with numerous 

 shining broad purplish lines ; the petals horizontal, broadly 

 linear-oblong, about half an inch wide and two and a half 

 long, ciliate, green tinged with purple at the tip, the margins 

 dotted with several dark purple hairy warts, the lower halves 

 flushed with pale wine-red ; and the lip two inches long, 

 almost cylindrical, of a purplish brown above, yellowish green 

 below. It flowers during the summer months. — Borneo.

C. Leeanum, Veitch. — A well-marked hybrid between C. 

 Spicerianum and C. insigne JSLaulei. In its neat habit of' 

 growth, and in various other points, it takes most after C. 

 Spicericnium. It has green leaves resembling those of that- 

 species, and rather taller scapes bearing the handsome, 

 flowers, which have the dorsal sepal broadly oval, flat, pure 

 white, similar in form to C. insigne Mmdei, but having a 

 distinct broad dotted line down its centre, and the base 

 emerald green with radiating spots of mauve colour running 

 npwards into the white part ; the petals are similar to C. insigne 

 Maulei, and the lip a shining brownish red. This is a very 

 distinct and desirable plant, and was raised by Mr. Seden, and 

 exhibited by Messrs. Veitch & Sons, in January, 1884. Its 

 name commemorates W. Lee, Esq., of Downside, one of our 

 most zealous cultivators of Orchids. — Garden hybrid. 



C. longifolium, Warscz. et Rchb. f. — This is a very stately 

 plant, somewhat robust in growth, producing a distichous 

 tuft of long strap- shaped dark green carinate leaves, and a
