stamped with tlie character of C. niveum ; the staminode broadly obcordate, 

 convex, hairy, especially at the sides, and yellowish -white, with light green 

 reticulated nerves. It is remarkably like C. Aylingi in colour, except that the 

 purple -is in clear stripes, not rows of dots, a character clearly derived from 

 the mother plant, as is also the markedly compressed lip" (R. A. Rolfe, in 

 Gardeners Chronicle, 3rd ser., 1890, vii. p. 792).— Garden hybrid.

C. VITTATUM, Rchh.f. — This old species appears to be in cultivation under 

 three different names. The leaves are long,' linear lanceolate, margined with 

 yellow ; dorsal sepal oblong obtuse, yellowish-green, striped with vinous red ; 

 inferior sepal much larger, greenish-white ; petals reflected, undulated, and 

 twisted, enlarged at the base, where they are green, margined with violet- 

 purple, the lower two-thirds of the same colour; lip green, suffused/ with 

 reddish-brown. Introduced in 1875 by Mr. Linden. — Brazil.

C. WALLISM, Bchh.f. — Avery distinct and beautiful plant belonging to the 

 a. caudatum section. The leaves are ligulate, acute, and leathery, and the stems 

 three to five flowered ; the sepals are elongate ovate, pale green distinctly 

 striped over their entire surface with bright green, and having a few green 

 spots in the centre ; the petals are about 8 inches long, broadish for about 2 

 inches at the base, and then passing into u, very narrow tail, white strongly 

 veined with green, the apical portion tinted with very pale brown ; the lip is 

 large and handsome, white spotted and veined with crimson, its mouth 

 margined with yellow. We believe this was first flowered by C. Winn, Esq., 

 The Uplands, Selly Hill, Birmingham. — Ecuador.

C. WARNERO-SUPERBIENS, Hort.—A cross, as its name indicates, between 

 (J. harhatum Wamerianum and C. supcrbiens. " The plant is intermediate 

 between its parents. Toliage 6 inches long, acute, broad near base, reticulated 

 with dark green on a pale ground ; the flowers are solitary, on pubescent brown 

 scapes, the dorsal sepal proportionately large, white with radiating green nerves, 

 and a stain of vinous red across the centre ; the inferior sepal is much smaller, 

 and of the same colour ; the petals are narrow, white, tinted with vinous-red at 

 the apices, and closely veined with green ; ciliate and warted on the margins, 

 with an occasional spot on the surface, and some brown specks near the base ; 

 the lip is of a rich glossy-brown colour, slightly concave below the opening, and 

 speckled on the infolded lobes ; the staminode is of a pale green colour, with 

 darker green reticulations " (B. M. Grey, in Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd ser., 

 1892, xii., p. iQl).— Garden hybrid. 



C. WILLIAMSIANUM, Bchh.f. — A very fine hybrid, and according to Beichen- 

 bach the best of the crosses obtained by B.Warner, Esq., reminding one both of 

 V. villosum and C. Harrisianum. The leaves arc distinctly tessellated, and the
