C. CLONIUS, Veitch. — A lovely hybrid raised by Messrs. Veitch, between 

 Uropediv/m lAndenii and C. conchiferum, and exhibited by them before the 

 Eoyal Horticultural Society on October 24th, 1893, when it was awarded a 

 1st Class Certificate. The dorsal sepal is ovate acuminate, pale yellow, veined 

 with greenish yellow ; petals about 9 inches long, very narrow, of a pale yellow, 

 veined with a delicate pale green; lip ivory white, suffused and faintly veined 

 .with pale rose, the incurved portion spotted with brown-purple. — Garden hybrid.

C. CONCHIFERUM, Hichb. /.—According to Professor Eeichenbach this plant 

 has the appearance of a giant G. carieinum, with some attributes of G. Roezlii 

 as to colour, breadth of petals, leaves, and extension of bracts. The flower has 

 an oblong triangular dorsal sepal, whitish, veined with pale yellowish green ; 

 the petals are ribbon-like, twisted, narrow, white veined with green at the base, 

 brownish crimson towards the tips ; and the lip is of a pale olive-green, with 

 the inflexed side lobes spotted and freckled with brown, and covered at the top 

 with shining green warts. This is the result of a cross between G. carieinum 

 and G. Roezlii, and was raised by J. C. Bowring, Esq., Windsor Forest. — Garden 

 hybrid.

C. CONCOLOR, Parish MS. — A very distinctly marked plant of the stem- 

 less section. The leaves are leathery, oblong obtuse, beautifully variegated 

 .above and reddish-purple beneath. The scape is short, pubescent, purple, 

 usually two-flowered, the flowers cream-coloured and finely speckled with 

 -minute crimson dots. The sepals and petals are broad, and the lip compara- 

 tively small. We- have seen this plant as imported, and from its appearance 

 should judge that it grows naturally among limestone rooks. We therefore 

 recommend some of that material to be mixed with the peat and sand used for 

 potting. — Mo-ulmein.

C. CONCOLOR CHLOROPHYLLUM, Rchb. /.—A form in which the colour 

 of the leaves is paler, and the purple is almost absent, being pale green ; the 

 flowers are also characterised by a row of purple spots along the middle of 

 the sepals and petals. 



C. CONCOLOR REGNIERI, Bchb. /.—In this form the loaves are longer and 

 narrower than those of the type, and the tessellations are not so distinctly 

 marked; scape 3—6 flowered, and the flowers are much deeper yellow. Intro- 

 duced by M. Begnier, of Fontenay-sous-Bois. — Cambodia.
