regards colour, the characteristic markings of that species being stronghy deve- 
loped on the dorsal sepal of the hybrid. The petals and lip are stronghy suffused 
with the same peculiar stade of rosy-purple, the former showing numerous small 
plackish brown spots near the base, and afew larger ones along the nerves. 
The general shape of the flower may be described as about intermediate 
between that of the two parents, with the staminode almost like that of 
C. Lawrenceanum. 
Altogether it is a most beautiful hybrid and a great acquisition in a group 
which has produced many sterling novelties during the last few years, and from 
which still more may be anticipated in the immediate future.
