CEPHALANTHERA. 



Very interesting and curious terrestrial British Orchids, 

 of the tribe Neottiece. Calyx of three ovate, acute, con- 

 verging, permanent sepals ; petals ovate, erect, as long as 

 the calyx ; lip scarcely spurred, saccate at the base, con- 

 tracted in the middle, undivided, and recurvate at the 

 end. The name Ceplialantliera {Rich.) is derived from 

 kephale, a head, and anthem, an anther ; in allusion to the 

 position of the latter. They thrive well in a chalky loam, 

 and may be propagated by divisions or by seed. 



CHONDRORHYNCHA. 



Stove epiphytal Orchids from Colombia, belonging to 

 the tribe Vandecz, and requiring the same cultivation as 

 the warm section of Zygopetalum. Sepals sub-equal, 

 narrow, oblong ; petals much broader ; lip articulated at 

 the foot of the column, sessile, broad, erect, concave, un- 

 divided ; pollen-masses four. Lindley's name is from 

 chondros, cartilage, and rhynchos, a beak ; in allusion to the 

 beak-like rostellum. 



C. Chestertoni {Rchb. /). — P'lowers yellow; lateral sepals 

 developing into a very long, sharp point ; petals with a much- 

 developed fringe ; lip also with very long fringes. Colombia, 

 1879. A very curious species.
