tcvards the base, purple towards the apex, itregularly but 

 thickly spotted with purple, and having a row of large spots on 

 the ciliated margins ; the lip is oblong obtuse, with the claw- 

 like base inflexed, verrucose, pale rosy purple, the pouch of 

 a rich brownish purple, with the posterior angles produced and 

 bluntish, and the front marked with coarse reticulations. The 

 staminode is obtusely triangular, white, with the centre veined 

 with green. It blooms in June and July, and continues a long 

 time in flower, so that it is invaluable for home decoration or 

 exhibition purposes. When well grown this makes a grand 

 plant. — Java, Assam.

Syn. — C, Veitchianum; C.barbatum Veitchii, 



C. SUperciliare, Rchb. /.—An interesting cross between 

 C. barhatum and C. superhiens, resembling the latter parent in 

 all its parts ; the flower is, however, smaller than in that species, 

 though the leaves are similar, being broadly ligulate and finely 

 tessellated. The scape is hairy and one-flowered. The dorsal 

 sepal is ovate triangular, the petals ligulate ciliate marked 

 with warts and blotches except towards the tip. — Garden 

 hybrid. 



C. Swanianum, Rchb. f. — A very beautiful and distinct 

 hybrid, the result of a cross between C. Dayanum and 

 C. barbaticm. It was raised by Mr. Swan, gardener to 

 W. Leach, Esq., Fallowfield, Manchester. The leaves are 

 broadly ligulate, acute ; in their markings they very much 

 resemble the dark tessellated form of C. Dayanum, and are 

 equally handsome. The flowers are long-stalked, and about 

 as large as those of C. barhatum, the dorsal sepal being large 

 and broad, white boldly veined with purplish crimson ; the 

 broad petals are bent down, bordered with retrorse bristles 

 and having a few small warts on the upper edge, pale 

 vinous red with green nerves ; and the lip is large, dark crimson 

 purple with shining warts on the inflected sides of the base. 

 A very beautiful plant, which should be included in every 

 collection. There are several varieties of this plant. — Garden 

 hybrid.
