with a deeper shade of the same hue ; staminode large, beak-like incurved, 

 furnished with numerous short hairs near the apex. It appears to be closely 

 allied to O. Bothschildianum, and is considered by some to be only a variety of 

 that species. — Philippine Islands.

C. ENFIELDENSE, HoH. — This hybrid was obtained in the collection of A. J. 

 HoUington, Esq., of Forty Hill, Enfield, and is the result of a cross between . 

 6'. HooTcerae and U. Lawrenceanum: Leaves similar to those of G.Lawrenceanum; 

 flowers borne on very long stalks; the dorsal sepal is greenish-yellow near the 

 base, covered with numerous veins, green at the base and purple at the 

 extremities ; the upper part white, suffused with light rosy-purple ; petals 

 green at the base, suffused and veined with purplish^brown ; the extremities a 

 beautiful and rich: rosy-purple, which also runs along the margins near to the 

 base. A few large wart-like deep purple spots near the upper margin, -and a

C. " ENSIGN," O'Brien. — This is a cross between C. Karrisianum and 0. 

 hariatum hiflorum. "A second crossing with a form of 0. barbatum has of 

 course resulted in producing a flower of smaller size than that of C. Harnsianmn, 

 and with more of the aspect of C. harhatwm, btit it may only be likened to a 

 small form of that known in collections already as G. Ilarrisianv/m vivicans 

 and it is probable that the cross may have been effected before, but the raisers 

 have included it with C. Harrisianwm, of which there are a large number of 

 varieties already. The present variety, however, is a neat flower, with a more 

 shiny surface and a more rosy hue over the petals and dorsal sepal than the 

 varieties of true Harrisianum have. It was raised and flowered in the gardens 

 of Chas. Winn, Esq., Selly Hill, near Birmingham, where there are many 

 better hybrids approaching maturity " (J. O'Brien, in Gardeners' Ghronicle, 

 3rd ser., 1892, xi. p. 73).— Garden hyhrid. 



C. ERNESTIANUM, Jaort. — We have not seen this plant, but it is said to 

 have been introduced from Borneo by Messrs. Shuttleworth Carder & Co., and 

 was first flowered in February, 1887, in the collection of E. J. Measures, Esq., of 

 Camberwell, and it is named in honour of his son Mr. Ernest Measures. It 

 appears to be closely allied to G. Bayanum. Dorsal sepal white veined with 

 green; petals green at the base veined with crimson, white at the tips and 

 f urnished'with purple hairs on the margins ; lip elongate, green marbled with 

 yellowish-brown. — Borneo.

 Looohristi, near Ghent. " It is a cross between C. inngne punctatum violaceuin 

 and G. Lawrenceanum. Dorsal sepal very fine, the centre clear yellow, speckled 

 with brown, lightened with violet and distinctly bordered with white ; inferior
