June ro1i.”’ F. Kingdon Ward. 
Allied to C. guttatum, Swartz, but differing in its softly 
pubescent stems and smaller pubescent leaves, the latter being 
three in number and not turning black in drying, as C. guttatum 
invariably does. The flowers are also different in shape and 
texture, the dorsal sepal being broader and less acute, and the 
petals rhomboidly dilated at the base. The colour is not 
. recorded on the sheet, but the dried specimen shows large purple 
spots on the lip, while the rest of the flower is pale in colour.
