C. LINDENII — See Ubopedium Lixdenii. 



C. LINDLEYANUM, Schombiirgk.—This remarkable species is quite distinct 

 from any other Cypripede ; the leaves are long and broad, deep green narrowly 

 margined with yellow ; the peduncle is about 2 feet high, furnished with severaL 

 large green boat-shaped bracts ; the flowers are densely clothed with hairs, in 

 colour pale nankeen-yellow tinged with green, regularly striped with Indian- 

 I'ed, the mouth of the pouch being densely spotted with the same colour. 

 Flowers in ]Srovem.ber. — British Guiana. 



Syn. — C. Kaitteurum. 



C. LONQIFOLIUM, Warscz. et Bchh. f. — This is a very stately plant, some- 

 what robust in growth, producing a distichous tuft o^ long strap-shaped dark 

 green carinate leaves, and a many-flowered puberulous scape, furnished witli 

 spathaceous lanceolate bracts. The flower spike produces a quantity of 

 flowers, but as far as we have seen but one is fully expanded at a time ; the 

 dorsal sepal is ovate lanceolate, pale yellowish-green, faintly streaked with 

 purple, the lower sepal large ; the petals are elongate-lanceolate, several 

 inche.s long, green, with a red marginal band, bordered with white ; and the 

 lip is oblong-ovoid with a wide mouth, green, suffused with shining purplish- 

 brown. It is not a very showy plant. — Central America ; Chiriqui.

C. LOWIl, Lindley. — A curious and beautiful Orchid of the stemless section. 

 The leaves are oblong-ligulate, slightly notched at the apex, light green. This 

 species produces its flowers on a spike, generally two or more together — some- 

 times eight or ten on native specimens, but we have never seen so many on 

 cultivated plants. It blooms during the spring and summer, and continues in 

 perfection for two or three months if kept in a cool house. The dorsal sepal is 

 ovate, narrowed to the base, downy outside, pale green with a purplish tinge ; , 

 the petals are long, spathulate, ciliated, the basal half greenish spotted with 

 purple, wholly purple towards the broader end ; and the'lip is large, smooth, 

 bluntly oblong, purplish-green, and shining. It grows naturally upon very 

 high trees. — Borneo. [^For illustration see page 278.]

C. "LUCIE," Godefroy.— This hybrid was raised by M. D. Moreau, of 

 Argenteuil, between C. Lawrenceanum and C. ciliolare, but the first-named 

 parent seems to have predominated ; the dorsal sepal is like that species, but 

 not so large, it is covered with a rosy wash.— Garden hjhrid.
