who made the attempt reported that the plate was a failure. We hope that 
he will try again. 
A few words must now be added as to the two plants here figured :-— 
C. MACULATA VAR. VITRINA (fig. 24) is a curious unspotted variety ofa 
Central American species, that appeared with Messrs. Sander & Sons, 
in 1894, and subsequently passed into the collection of Dr. Hodgkinson, 
The Grange, Wilmslow, from whom the annexed photograph was received. 
The sepals and petals are light greenish yellow, entirely without spots, and 
the lip a little paler, the name being given in allusion to the glassy 
appearance. The odour was described as that of a ripe pear. The shape 
of the hood, the bucket, and the pair of glands at the base of the column

C. macrocorys (fig. 25) is a Peruvian species that was introduced by 
Messrs. Linden, Brussels, with whom it flowered in March, 1892, when it 
was described and figured (Rolfe, in Lindenia, viii. t. 342). Plants were 
afterwards introduced by Messrs. Sander, and from a flower of the latter, 
photographed by the writer, about half-natured size, the annexed figure was 
prepared. It is very distinct in shape, and the concave lateral sepals 
resemble some expanded bivalve shell, with the texture and colour almost 
of an Aristolochia. The bucket is much dilated above, and the hood 
unusually long and narrow, while the pair of horns are suberect and 
very muchelongated. The colour may be described as light apple green, 
covered with light brown blotches on the lateral sepals and the inside of
