JANUARY, 1916.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. iT 
of colour from the scape was noticed, and when the flower expanded its 
beautiful yellow colour caused quite a sensation. The usual blotches 
are here reduced to a few small brown spots (see p. 9, fig. 7). It has an 
excellent constitution, and has been extensively propagated, being now 
represented in every collection of note, in some cases in quantity. Var. 
Sanderianum (see p. 10, fig. 8), appeared with Messrs. Sander a few years 
later. It has a shorter, broader dorsal sepal than Sanderz, without any’ 
brown spots, but there are a few brown hairs at the base of the petals-

Var. Ernestii(see p. 9, fig. 2) soon followed, a plant being exhibited at the 
R.H.S. meeting held on November 14th, 1893, from the collection of RK. 1. 
Measures, Esq., Camberwell, together with var. Sandere. The ground 
colour is yellow, but the blotches of the dorsal sepal are present, though very 
light in colour, and they extend into the white area as very light purple 
markings. (See also p. 5). Several other yellow varieties have since 
appeared, differing somewhat in shape and colour, but none, we believe, 
quite equal to the original ones in decorative value. C. insigne Sander 
has been self-fertilised, giving a batch of yellow seedlings, and including 
forms both with and without brown spots (Q.R.., xviii. p. 320).
