C. MARMOROPHYLLUM, J?c/t6./.— A very curious and interesting hybrid, 

 between C. Hoolcerae and G. barbatum. Professor Eeichenbach describes tbe 

 leaves as being quite those of C. Hooherae. The scape is tall as in that species, 

 purple. The upper sepal has the broad base and transverse shape of that of G. 

 barbatum, and near the margin is washed with purple, in the centre with green, 

 all the nerves being green ; the petals are bent down, like those of G. Hooherae, 

 are more purple, and are bordered with bristles, having two warts on each 

 superior limb; and the lip has the side angles a little more developed than in G. 

 Hooherae, the inflexed margins being covered with shining warts. Flowers in 

 winter. — Garden hybrid. 



C. MARSHALLIANUM, Bchb. /.—This is a fine hybrid between C. rewustim,, 

 or its variety pardinum, and G. concolor; leaves distichous, broadly oblong, 

 obtuse, ground colour light green, mottled with very deep green on the upper 

 side, dull purple beneath, about 6 inches long ; dorsal sepals large, broadly 

 ovate, incurved towards the apex, ground colo^ir white, faintly suii'used with 

 Tosy -purple over the entire surface, and faintly tinged with yellow towards the 

 base, the veins densely dotted with purple ; lower sepal smaller, creamy white, 

 dotted in a less degree with purple ; petals deflexed, broadly obtuse, coloured 

 and dotted in a similar manner to the dorsal sepal ; lip pale yellow, tinged with 

 light green, flushed and dotted with purple on the upper part about the 

 aperture, the interior pale yellow, dotted with purple ; staminode yellow, 

 tinged with green, with a purple tinge in the centre.— Garden hybrid.

C. MASSAIANUM, Weathers. — ''The flowers are of a good size, the upper 

 sepal being pale yellow, with dark purple bands running from the base to apex, 

 and somewhat feathered at the margins ; the lower sepal is similar, and the 

 fringed petals are also pale yellow tinged with soft green, and ornamented with 

 rows of blackish-purple blotches ; the lip is large and of a crimson colour, with 

 darker-coloured veins, while the staminode is such as to show its relation to 

 both parents — G. superciliare and G. Rothscliildianum. The plant was exhibited 

 at Chiswick, on July 11th, 1893, when it obtained an award of merit, and also 

 at the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting at Westminster on July 25th " 

 (J. Weathers, in Gardeners' Ghronicle). — Garden hybrid.

C. MASTERSIANUM, Echb.f.— This is a very distinct and beautiful species? 

 was introduced from the Malay Archipelago, and is named in honour of Dr. 

 Maxwell T. Masters, P.R.S., the able editor of the Gardeners' Ghronicle. The 

 dorsal sepal is green, margined with white, petals horizontal, reddish-purple ; 

 upper halves finely spotted with dark purple ; lower halves greenish towards 

 the base, lip deep flesh colour, yellowish towards the top ; staminode greenish- 

 brown margined with yellow. — Malay Archipelago : Jara.

C. MAYNARDI, Eolfe. — "A hybrid raised from G. purpuratum, fertilised 

 with the pollen of C. Spicerianum, between which it is quite intermediate in 

 general character. The leaves are light green, marked with darker green
