This is a species of great beauty, but it does not possess the same advantage 

 that some of the others do, of preserving its flowers uninjured for several 

 weeks after they are cut ; as in a little time they change their colour and 

 rapidly decay. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., June, 1843.) 



C. chloranthum Lindl. A Nepal species with greenish flowers, having the 

 lip spotted with yellow and crimson. After flowering the blossoms become 

 of a dusky wine colour. {Bot. Reg., Oct. 1843, Misc.)

It is a plant of no great beauty, and it is cultivated in the same manner as 

 the other species of the genus. (Bot. Reg., Oct. 1843.) 



D. aduncum Wall. The flowers are almost transparent, of a bright pink, 

 and nearly as large as those of D. moschatum. (Bot. Reg., Aug. 1842, Misc.)

 cucumerinum MacLeay. Cucumber ^ (Z3 cu J jn° W.Pk New Holland 1842. D p.r.w 



This is a very singular plant, as it looks, when not in flower, like a heap of 

 little cucumbers. It has no beauty, but only its singularity to recommend it. 

 (Bot. Reg., July, 1843.) 



D. ]unceuvi Lindl. This species has rather large green flowers streaked with 

 faint purple lines. It is a native of Sincapore. (Bot. Reg., Feb. 1842, Misc.)

[Hot. reg. 1843, 6. 

 sanguinolentum Lindl. blood-stained jg [Z3 or a [au Y.V.S Ceylon 1842. D p.r.w 



This is a very singular plant from its mixing in its flowers the three primitive 

 colours of yellow, red, and blue (the latter being, however, in the form of 

 violet), as it was supposed by DeCandoUe and other botanists that these three 

 colours were never found together even in the same genus. The species is a 

 native of Ceylon, with pendulous stems of a delicate purple tinge. (Bot. Reg., 

 Jan. 1843.)
