Diflers from the type in the lips which in this new species are bluish 

 purple at the margin, but not spotted. The lips of C. sinense are in greater 

 parts spotted. I have not seen the type of the latter ; but according to the 

 description given in LINDL. Gen. et Sp. Orch. p. 162, the lips are "macula- 

 turn." The same character of the lips can be seen in a figure given in the 

 Somokudsusetsu XVIII. PI. 11.
