C. CALOPHYLLUM, Bclib. /.—This hybrid was raised by Messrs. Yeitch' 

 & Sons between C, harbatwm and O. venustum. The leaves are large, with 

 beautiful dark tessellation; the dorsal sepal is similar to that of C. harhatum, 

 but has greener nerves ; the petals are like those of C. venustum, having the 

 same wart-like bodies, and strong bristles on the margins ; the lip in shape and 

 colour is akin to that of C. venuatum, but is much browner than in that species. 

 It flowers during the autumn months. — Garden hybrid. 



C. CALURUM, JJcM./. — ^A very handsome noble and free-flowering hybrid 

 raised between C. longiflorum and O. Sedeni in Messrs. Veitch's nursery. It 

 forms a thick tuft of elongate channelled acute green leaves, with tall branched 

 brownish red stems, bearing in succession large showy flowers, the dorsal sepal 

 of which is pale green with longitudinal purple ribs, the petals 2^ inches long, 

 pale green edged with rosy-red near the base, and wholly bright rosy-red at 

 the apex, narrower and more twisted than in G. Sedeni; the lip is deep wine- 

 crimson externally, and very handsome ; it belongs to the Belenipedium group. 

 — Garden hybrid.

C. CARDINALE, Rchb.f. — A very beautiful hybrid raised in the establish- 

 ment of Messrs. Veitch & Sons; it is a cross between 0. Sedeni and C. 

 Schlimii album, and has the appearance of a gigantic C. Schlvmii ; the dorsal 

 sepal is blush white faintly striped with green, the petals blush white with a 

 patch of crimson-purple hairs towards the base ; and the lip is similar in shape 

 to that of C. Schlvmii, but about an inch in diameter and of the same colour ; 

 it flowers at different times of the year, as fast as one set of flowers falls another 

 set appears. — Garden hybrid.
