C. GOWERIANUM, Hort. iSctreier.— This is a fine hybrid, raised by Mr. Sander, 

 -of St. Albans, between C. Laiorenceanum and C. Curtisii, partaking of the beauties

 scape, which is many-flowered, grows 3 feet high, and stout in proportion. The 

 flowers are large, with a remarkably extended lip; the elongate ovate incurved 

 dorsal sepal is yellowish-white, marked with yellowish-green veins ; the petals 

 are ribbon-like, upwards of 1 foot long, pendulous, broadest at the base, where 

 they are yellowish-white and hairy, the narrow pendent portion crimson, and 

 the lip is large and prominent, narrow at the base, where the infolded lobes 

 are whitish, spotted with crimson, the front portion greenish-yellow, paler and 

 whitish beneath. The staminode is pale yellow, slightly flushed with crimson 

 below, and fringed on its upper edge with blackish crimson hairs. It is a plant 

 of exceptional merit. — Garden hybrid.
