C. BARBATUM WARNERIANUM, Moore.— A very beautiful and compact- 

 growing variety, with small disticlious oblong acute distinctly-tessellated 

 foliage. The dorsal sepal is large, recurved towards the apex, white striped 

 with green towards the base, and marked with a broad transverse band of vinous 

 crimson ; the petals are fringed, and have a number of bearded warts along the 

 upper edge, their upper halves being pale green striped with dark green, and 

 the lower halves white towards the base, the remaining portion bright purple 

 tipped with white ; the lip deep brownish-purple. This plant flowers when very 

 young, in fact every small shoot may be depended upon to produce its spike. 

 It flowers in March, April, and May, lasting six weeks in perfection.— JracZifi.

C. "BEATRICE," K. E. Brown.— This, hybrid was raised by D. 0. 

 Drewitt, Esq., of Riding Mill-on-Tyne, and is a cross between C. Bacallii and 

 C. Lowii. " The leaves are about a foot long, and I5 inch broad, uniform 

 bright green ; the peduncle is one-flowered in the specimen at hand, but will 

 probably become two or more flowered as the plant strengthens ; the plant is 

 intermediate between that of its two parents ; the upper sepal has very revolute 

 margins ; the base is heavily marked with chocolate, and streaks of chocolate 

 run out into the light greenish-yellow apical part, the border being whitish ; 

 the petals are widely spreading, and of a similar shape to 0. Lo'wii; they are 

 about 3 inches long, spathulate, yellowish, spotted with chocolate at the base ; 

 the mid-line is chocolate-purple, as is also the part above it about the middle, 

 shading ofi into light mauve-purple at the apex, the part below the mid-line 

 being pale whitish-yellow, shaded with pale mauve ; the lip is rather long 

 and narrow, shining, pale purplish, shading off into ochreous at the apex, 

 and beneath; the border of the mouth is also ochreous" (N. E. Brown in 

 Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd ser., 1889, vi. p. 266). — Gcmlen hybrid.
