C. BARBATA, Griffith.— Ihis is a most useful winter-flowering species, and 

 according to Dr. Lindley the finest of the genus. The pseudobulbs are roundish- 

 ovate, light green, with leaves of a thick leathery texture and oblong-lanceolate 

 form, produced two from each bulb. The flower scapes are erect, producing a 

 flexuose. raceme of several flowers, which open in succession, the individual 

 blossoms being from two to three inches across. The sepals and petals are pure 

 white, the lip is also white, distinctly bearded round the margin with a fringe 

 of pale sepia-coloured hairs, and of a darker sepia-brown in the centre, where 

 they cover the veins, and form three shaggy crests. It flowers in January, and 

 continues blooming for several weeks. This species thrives best in the cool- 

 house, and requires an abundant supply of moisture. — Norflicrn India : Shotan,
