C. HARRISIANUM VIVICANS, Fori.— In this form the colours are very rivid, 

 the upper part of the dorsal sepal being light green. — Garden hybrid. 



C. HARRISIANUM WALLAERTll, Rort. Eelg.—'The flower in this variety is

C. HAYNAUDIANUM, EcM. /.— This species, which is named after Dr. 

 Haynald, Archbishop of Kaloesa, in Hungary, comes very near to C Lowii.

 scapes, 1 to Ij foot high, and two or more flowered. The flowers are large and 

 showy; the dorsal sepal yellowish-green at the base blotched with bold patches 

 of brown, and pinkish-white on the upper part ; the petals are fully 3 inches 

 long, spathulate-oblong, greenish-yellow, margined with pale pink towards the 

 tips, and heavily blotched with brown in the lower half, and the saccate bi-auri- 

 culate lip is green, tinged with pale purple. It blooms during February and 

 March. — Philippine Islands : Manilla.

 the central tooth very short, the outer pair broadly falcate, acute, and much

C. HERA, Rolfe. — This hybrid was raised in the collection E. H. Measures, 

 Esq., of- the Woodlands, Streatham, between C. Spicerianum and G. villosum. 

 "The characters of both species are well represented iu the hybrid, those of 

 (J. SpicerioMum somewhat preponderating in the dorsal sepal, and those of the 

 other parent in the rest of the flower, though on the whole it is as thoroughly 

 intermediate as hybrids generally are ; dorsal sepal broadly orbicular, the 

 margins strongly reflexed, colour white, with light green base and broad 

 dark purple median band, and some light purplish marblings on either side 

 of the same, and about half way to the margin ; lower sepal ovate, and lightest 

 green; petals cuneate-oblong, the upper margin undulate, the lower half 

 pale green, the upper one light purple-brown, passing into lines of dots below, 

 median band narrow, dark purple-brown ; lip smaller than in C. ' villosum, 

 but otherwise much resembling it, light purple-brown in front, paler behind, 

 internally marbled, and spotted with bright purple-brown ; staminode obovate- 

 orbicular, the margin slightly raised, surface strongly papillose, colour light 

 purple-brown, with a central dark green, slightly raised boss" (E. A. Eolfe, 

 in Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd ser., 1890; vii. p. lOi).— Garden hybrid. ■
