and petals of a cream white, covered with large purple-brown spots, more 
numerous towards the base, and disposed more or less in lines parallel with 
the median nerve. 
The variety leucochilum, which is figured in the annexed plate, made its 
appearance in the month of June, in the collection of R. J.. MEAsurEs, Esq., of 
Camberwell, and is very distinct and remarkable. M. Measures’ flower, of which 
the Gardeners’ Chronicle published, in its number of June 30 last, a beautiful 
woodcut, bears a general resemblance to C. bellatulum, and demonstrates, as 
the Gardeners’ Chronicle remarks, that the line of demarcation which separates 
certain extreme forms of the two species is very fine. The present one, however, 
possesses the peculiarity, which has given the name to the variety, of having 
the front of the lip entirely cream white, without any spots except on the inside 
of the lip and the staminode, which bear a large number of minute purple spots. 
M. Measures’ flower presents also another peculiarity which is not present 
in our example, in having the apex of the lip prolonged into a little. point. The 
' peculiarity is pretty constant in this plant, it appears, but others of the same 
importation have not produced it. 
The plant which served for our model flowered recently in the collection of 
M. Houzeau De Leuate, of Mons, a member of the Belgian Chamber of Repre- 
sentatives. It was exhibited at the Horticultural Exhibition at Mons, where it 
excited very great interest. Tels:
