and petals similar ami sub-ec^ual, oblong, lanceolate, light nankeen- 

 yellow, the petals and lateral sepals spreading, the dorsal sepal bent 

 forward ; lip nearly as in 0. Loicicmum, ivory-white on the inner side 

 with a V-shaped red-crimson blotch on the reflexed front lobe ; lamellae 

 of the disk bright yellow. Column ivory-white with a reddish stain 

 below the anther.

O. Winnianum. 



C giganteum. X C. ehurneum. 

 Stems and leaves nearly as in Cgnibidium ehurneum. Racemes robust, 

 nearly as long as the leaves, 10 — 15 flowered ; bracts much acuminated 

 as in C. ehurneum. Flowers of the general shape of those of C. giganteum 

 with all the segments narrower, 4 inches across transversely ; sepals and 

 petals ivory-white, the dorsal sepal narrowly oblong, the lateral two 

 similar but sub-falcate ; the petals linear-oblong, and falcately curved ; 

 lip nearly as in C. giganteum, ivory-white rather densely spotted with 

 crimson along the base of the side lobes and the crisped margin of 

 the front lobe ; between the side lobes are two pubescent orange- 

 yellow lamellae that are confluent and almost hirsute at their apex. 

 Column semi-terete, bent, narrowly winged, greenish above, spotted with 

 crimson below the stigma.

CYPERORCHIS. 



Blume, Mus. bot. Lugd. I. p. 48. (1849). Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. III. p. 538. 

 This genus was founded by the Dutch botanist^ Blume, on 

 Cymbidium elegans (Lindl.), to which were afterwards added C. Mastersii 

 (Griff.), and G. cochleare (Liudl.), the latter species of no horticultural 

 merit. These three species are separated from Cymbidium chiefly by 

 their narrow perianth segments which are connivent to the middle 

 or beyond it; the flowers, therefore, do not fully expand like those 

 of a true Cymbidium ; also by the straight narrow lip of whicli 

 the front lobe or epichile is very short, and by their much more 

 dense racemes. They are all natives of the sub -tropical Himalaya 

 and the Khasia Hills, ascending to 4,000—6,000 feet. 



Cultural Note. — The cultural treatment of the two species described 

 below is precisely the same as that applied to the Cymbidiums from 

 the same region and altitude.
