Rhizome as thick as a goose-quill or less, closely annulate. Pseudobulbs 2—3 in., flattened, 
with a large ovate brown basal sheath, Leaves 8—4 in., hardly petioled. Scape 1—2 in. 
flexuous, usually 1-fld.; braets elongate, acuminate, coriaceous; pedicel with ovary, 
4 in.; flowers very variable in size. Sepals 3—1 in., yellowish-brown, lateral ovate- 
lanceolate, acuminate, dorsal oblong; petals 1-пегуей, extremely narrow, strongly falcately 
recurved usually backwards on each side of the dorsal sepal; lip with a yellow-brown 
hypochil and large orbicular-ovate epichil, copiously fringed and covered on the surface 
with flexuous purple hairs, disk of epichil with a slender median and two broad dark 
purple stripes that meet at the apex, and two ridges or lamella, one on each side of 
the median stripe; very many purple nerves run from the broad outer stripes to the 
margin, Column long, tip rounded. Capsule 1 in., turgidly pyriform. 
A very variable plant in size, though I have seen no specimen approaching in this respect that 
here figured, the drawing of which is inscribed “Sikkim, 4— 6,000 ft. October 1876. G. K." But for 
the greater size, this is hardly if at all distinguishable from C. fimbriata, Lindl ,—a Khasia species also 
found in China, of which the rhizome is no thicker than a duck’s quill, and the pseudobulbs ł—14 in. 
long and ovoid-oblong. Indeed unless better characters are found on a comparison of living specimens 
to distinguish these two plants, I think they must be united under the name of C. fimbriata, Lindl, in 
Wall. Cat. n. 1957. Both species were established by Lindley and described contemporaneously in 1838, 
С. fimbriata at Tab. 868 of the Botanical Register, and C. ovalis in the Miscellanea of the same year 
and volume. С. fuliginosa, Lindl., of Tenasserim (Bot. Mag. 4440), is another far too closely allied 
plant.
