C. CAUDATUM ALBUM.-See 0. Wallisii. 



C. CAUDATUM, Luxembourg Variety. — In this form the leaves are stouter, 

 longer, and much more erect than in the type. The flowers, according to M. 

 Godefroy, " are far from being as handsome as C. caudatum Waracewiczii." "We 

 have not seen the flowers, but having seen the original plant in the Luxembourg 

 Gardens, Paris, we can vouch for the habit of growth being as described.

C. CAUDATUM ROSEUM, EoH. — A variety which grows in the same way 

 as the type, and blossoms at the same time, but the flowers are of a dark rose, 

 intermixed with the yellow and green. It has all the beauty of the species, 

 with additional charms, especially brilliancy of colour; it is identical with 

 C. Warsceiciczianum. It was discovered by Warscewicz in the mountains of 

 Chiriqui. It is stated by Mr. E. Pfau, in the Gardeners' Chronicle, to grow 

 exclusively on the tops of trees at the height of 60 to 100 feet from the ground. 

 — Ohirigui.

C. CELEUS, Sort. — A cross between C. insigne punctatum violaceum and 

 C. rillosum, raised by K. J. Measures, Esq., of Camberwell, and exhibited by him 

 at the meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on November 14th, 1893. The 

 dorsal sepal is a pale delicate green covered with large purple spots, suggesting 

 its seed parent; the white border is sharply deflned. Petals greenish-yellow, 

 wholly covered with pale purplish-brown reticulations, leaving but little of the 

 ground colour visible. — Garden hyhrid. 



C- ' CELIA," Bolfe. — This handsome hybrid was raised by Mr. Savage, 

 gardener to W. S. Kimball, Esq., of Eochester, N.Y., and is believed to be a 

 cross between G. Spicerianum and C. tonsum. It is named after Mr. Kimball's 

 daughter. " Leaf linear-oblong, acute, light green, irregularly tessellated with 

 dark green ; dorsal sepal sub-orbicular, over If inch broad, white, with numerous 

 light green nerves on the basal half, and a narrow purple median band; petals 

 linear-oblong, over 2 inches long, a little ciliate, light green, nearly white 

 towards apex, with a narrow purple median band and about seven lines of small 

 dusky-purple spots ; lip 2 inches long, purple-brown in front, paler behind, 

 infolded side-lobes with numerous purple-brown spots on a pale ground; 

 staminode obcordate-reniform, the two apical teeth very broad and rounded,
