This splendid species was mentioned by Dr. Lindley in Botanical Miscellany 

 of the Bot. Reg. for 1838 ; but the specimen here figured was imported by 

 Mr. Henchman, nurseryman at Edmonton, with some Cacti, in June 1840. 

 The tuberous roots, which Mr. Henchman describes as resembling those of 

 mangold wurzel, were potted immediately in rich mould, and grew with such 

 rapidity that "by the end of Auj;ust they were large plants, and full of bloom. 

 The plants continued in flower till November, when they gradually died down. 

 The flowers, which are very numerous, and produced in clusters on long foot- 

 stalks, continue open two days, except in very hot weather ; but by the 

 second day their fine rich hue has disappeared, leaving the ground colour a 

 reddish purple." {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., May.)

A species nearly allied to C. trinervis, with white flowers, having a bright 

 yellow blotch on the lip. It is a native of Sincapore, and should be cul- 

 tivated in a very warm moist stove, such as suits dendrobiums and plants of 

 that kind. {Bot. Reg., May.)
