C. GRANULOSA, Lindley. — A free-growing species, having slender terete 

 stems, a pair of oblong lanceolate leaves, and large olive-green flowers, with 

 rich brown spots ; the lip whitish, spotted with crimson, and having its surface 

 broken up into numerous granulations. It blooms in August and September,

 but where there is room it is worth growing, on account of its distinct colours.

C. GUATEMALENSIS, Moore. — A. very distinct and pretty Orchid, whose 

 flowers, though not so large as those of many of the species, are yet from their 

 curious colour — which is in the sepals and petals rosy purple and buff, and in 

 the lip reddish purple with an orange disk marked with a few crimson lines 

 — amply compensated for as to size, and, being produced in large racemes, the 

 plant becomes a very desirable addition to any collection. It is similar in habit 

 to 0. Skinneri, and requires the same kind of treatment. — (Guatemala.
