amethyst-purple, and the disc orange striated with yellow. The vie 
splendidissima has also white segments and a very richly coloured lp 
The variety delicata has the sepals and petals flushed with very pal 
amethyst and a slightly darker lip with a pale yellow disc. Osmani hi 
sepals and petals of a delicate rosy mauve, the front lobe of the lip of th: 
richest crimson-purple, paler at the margin, and -the disc bright yello 
Russeliana is somewhat similar, but has a large portion of the side lobe 
deep crimson-purple. Backhousiana has an amethyst-purple stain near th 
tip of the petals, and the yellow disc of the lip reduced to a narrow batt 
on either side of which is a white blotch. Schroederiana has large lili 
flowers, with broad petals, and the front lobe of the lip deep purple. 
_Leéana is the largest form yet introduced, and has the peculiarity that th 
crimson-purple of the front lobe of the lip extends into the throat, alimos 
obliterating the characteristic yellow disc. _Hooleana has smaller, bit 
somewhat. similar, very richly coloured flowers. The variety striata | 
characterised by a broad irregular band running down the centre of tit 
sepals and petals. Massangeana has the segments irregularly veined wit 
lilac-mauve, and the lip also veined, but of deeper colour. . Finally, we m# 
note the variety chocoensis, the most fragrant form known, which has te 
peculiarity. that its flowers are never fully expanded. Numerous othe 
variations might be enumerated, but the above are the principal and on 
typical forms. Schrodere, formerly regarded as a variety of C. rian)? 
not here enumerated, being now generally considered different.
