C. GUTTATA LEOPOLDII, Linden et Bchh. /.—A charming variety, whose 

 terete stems reach about twenty inches in height, and bear a pair of short dark 

 green leaves ; it generally has from six to ten flowers on' a spike,- and is a free- 

 blooming kind, producing its fragrant flowers after it has made its growth. The 

 sepals and petals are brownish or bronzy green, spotted with crimson, the lip 

 rich velvety purple. We have seen this with thirty flowers on one head, a 

 condition in which it was exhibited at Regent's Park by Mr. Page, when 

 gardener to the late W.. Leaf, Esq., Streartham, in whose collection • it was 

 grown; this was the finest spike we ever remember to have seen. It continues 

 in perfection about three weeks, making a fine plant for exhibition on account of 

 its distinct colonr.^Brazil ; Baliia.

C. GUTTATA LEOPOLDII ODORATISSIMA, Bchh. /.—"This variety has the 

 sepals and petals yellow on both sides, side laciniae of lip white, its disk and 

 anterior laciniae purple, column very strong, purple at the top and a little at 

 the base, the remaining part white." — Reichenbach in Oard. Citron., 1888, iv. 

 p. 378. This variety originated with M. Peeters, Brussels, who says the flowers 

 have a delicious Heliotrope scent. 



C. GUTTATA LILACINA, Bchh. /.—This beautiful variety was flowered by 

 Sir T. Lawrence, Bart., in June, 1881. It is quite distinct from the type, the 

 sepals and petals being blush white, irregularly spotted with magenta, and the 

 lip large and well fringed, of a bright magenta-crimson. It flowers in Jiine and 

 .Tuly. — Brazil. 



C. GUTTATA PRINZII, Bchb. f.—A. very beautiful and distinct form, growing 

 about a foot high, and having white sepals and petals, which are flushed with 

 rosy magenta, and faintly spotted with a darkei- tint of the same colour, the 

 broadly-expanded deeply crenate-lobed lip being of a bright purplish crimson. 

 It flowers in June and July. Prof. Reichenbach quote.'?, as a synonym of this, 

 the C. amethystoglossa of British gardens, a view which his figure, here quoted, 

 does not appear to confirm ; nor does the habit of the plant, for C. amcthystoglossa 

 grows as much as three feet in height. C. guttata KeteJeeri' se&ms from the 

 figure to be the same as the present variety. — Brazil.
