in having broader leaves, which are glaucous and with scarcely a trace of 
the mottling seen in the older species. The petals are distinctly hairy, as 
seen in the illustration, besides being of different colour. The flowers are 
borne in racemes ona gradually elongating spike, as in C. Chamberlainianum 
and C. Victoria-Mariz. The dorsal sepal is light green, somewhat veined 
and suffused with dusky-brown in the lower half, and the margin cream- 
yellow, while the petals are cream-white, with reddish-purple markings. 
The lip is clear light purple, with an obscure trace of darker spotting, and 
a cream-yellow margin and side lobes, with a few light brown spots on the 
latter. The staminode is dusky-brown with a light green base.
