C. BRABANTIAE, Fei7c7i.— This is one of Messrs. Veitch and , Sons' 

 hybrids, the result of, a cross between C. Aclandiae and C Loddigesii,, and 

 requires the same treatment as its parents, which are both natives of the 

 warmer parts of Brazil., It: is a sturdy dwarf -growing vai-iety, with terete 

 stems, a pair of ligulate-oblong leaves, and comparatively large flowers, in 

 which the rose-coloured sepals and petals are thickly blotched with blackish 

 purple, and the lip has its lateral lobes white, curved over the broad rose- 

 coloured column, and its front lobe retusely renitorm, of a magenta-purple. It 

 was first exhibited at the Brussels International Show in 186i.— Garden

C. BRYMERIANA, Bchb. f. — This is a fine and distinct novelty, introduced 

 by Messrs. Low & Co., and named in honour of W. E. Brymer, Esq., Ilsington

 flower§ being medium sized ; the sepals and petals are of a pale rosy purple, 

 and the lip has. a narrow, closely-folded tubular base nearly two inches long, 

 yellowish below, and pale lilac with the front part veiny magenta-purple above, 

 and a clear yellow throat . cut oft' abruptly in front, the anterior lobe is trans- 

 versely roundish oblong, emarginate, and of a rich magenta-purple ; this 

 anterior lobe is remarkable for its squareness. — Bra::il.

 M. ,Bleu .of Paris, between C. amethystina and C. Aclandiae. The stems are 

 stronger than those of G. Aclandiae. The sepals and petals are blush white, 

 ! spotted with violet-purple, as in 0. amethystoglossa, and the lip is a rich violet- 

 purple in the centre, passing to a lighter tint of the same colour on either side.

C. CANDIDA, Hort. — A desirable free-growing species, allied to C. intermedia. 

 It ' grows about a foot high, making two growths in a year, and blooms from 

 both, producing three or four flowers on a spike; the sepals and petals are 

 white, delicately shaded with pink, and the lip is of the same colour with a 

 ' da.sh of yellow in the centre. It flowers from July to November, and lasts three 

 or four weeks in good condition, if the flowers are kept free from damp. This 

 plant has become very rare in cultivation. — Brchr.il.
