CUELOGYNE. 209 



C. PARISHII, Hooker. — The flowers of this species at first sight resemble 

 those of a miniature C. pandurata, being much smaller in all their parts. The 

 cyliudraceo-tetragonal pseudobulbs are four to five inches in length and half an 

 inch in diameter; they are surmounted by two broad ovate-oblong nervose 

 leaves, and the six-flowered raceme is terminal on the pseudobulbs. The flowers 

 are j-ellowish-green, the three-lobed pandurate lip green with a few black spots, 

 and the dilated roundish front lobe undulately crisped; the disk bears three 

 elevated lines, and there are some elegant fringes on the front part of the lip. 

 It blooms during April and May. — Moulmein.

C. PELTASTES, Rclib. f. — The flowers of this species resemble those of C. 

 paiidurnia except in the lip, which in the present species is of a creamy-white, 

 with yellowish-brown markings and veins. The pseudobulbs are very peculiar, 

 being somewhat crescent-shaped, very wide and flattish, concave on one side, 

 and produced at different levels on the creeping rhizome, the concave side being 

 closely pressed against the object they are growing on, thus forming reservoirs 

 for collecting water. — Borneo.

C. PLANTAGINEA, Lindley. — A distinct and desirable species, with elongate 

 terete pseudobulbs, oblong-lanceolate undulate leaves, and pendulous racemes 

 of flowers, which are of a. greenish-yellow, having a white lip streaked with 

 brown, the middle lobe crested with perpendicular fringed plates. — India. 



C. ROSSIANA, Bclib. f. — The flowers of this species are described by 

 the late Pi'of. Reichenbach as cream- white, with ligulate acute sepals and petals. 

 Lip with ochre-yellow side laciniae, the anterior lacinia being of the same 

 colour except the white top. Named in honour of H. J. Boss, Esq., of Castagnole, 

 Italy. — Burmah. 



C. SANDERAEi Krdnzlin. — Pseudobulbs ovate tapering, 3 to 4 inches long, 

 two-leaved, spike produced from the apex of the mature bulb. Flowers about 

 the size of C. harhata, white with a deep orange blotch on the disk, furnished 

 with three parallel keels which are covered with long dark brown hairs. — 

 I'pper Burmah.

C. SANDERIANA, Rclib. f. — A very pretty new species discovered by 

 Forstermann. Our experience of it is that it is an exceedingly slow grower and 

 shy bloomer. Pseudobulbs ovoid, costate, about 2 inches in length. Leaves 

 about 1 foot in length, 2J inches in width, ribbed, cartaceous. The flowers are 

 snow-white ; the anterior portion of the lip is yellow with white markings ; 

 crest yellow, side laciniae striped with brown. — Native country not stated.

C. SPECIOSA, Lindley. — A free-flowering evergreen plant, growing about 

 8 inches high. The plant has ovate-oblong ribbed monophyllous pseudo- 

 bulbs, oblong-lanceolate five to seven-nerved leaves, and short erect penducles 

 bearinw two or more flowers, which are nearly 4 inches in diameter, and are
