304 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [OCTOBER, 1903. 
It is a native of Jamaica and Cuba, and was afterwards figured in the 
Botanical Magazine as Masdevallia fenestrata, Lindl. (t. 4164), when the 
plant flowered at Kew. The flowers are dark purple in colour, and 7-9 
lines long, with the lateral openings about 2 lines long. 
C. uypopiscus (Rolfe in Gard. Chron., 1887, ii, p. 693) was 
introduced by Mr. F. C. Lehmann, and flowered with Messrs. Hugh 
Low & Co. in 1878, being described by Reichenbach under the name of 
Masdevallia hypodiscus (Gard. Chron., 1878, ii, p. 234). Its habitat was 
not recorded, but a plant which has since been identified with the original 
description came from Popayan. The flowers are about 8 lines long, and 
dull purple at the apex and base, with the remainder light green. The 
lateral openings are about 4 lines long, and the nerves of the sepals are 
covered with prominent slender whitish bristles. 
6. C. GRACILENTUS (Rolfe in Gard. Chron., 1887, ii, p. 693) Was 
introduced from Costa Rica by Endres, and flowered with Messrs. James 
Veitch & Sons, and in the Hamburg Botanic Garden, in 1875, when 
Reichenbach described it as Masdevallia gracilenta (Gard, Chron., 1875) "s 
p. 98). The flowers are about 3 to 4 lines long, and dull dark purple, with 
the lateral openings about two lines long. 
C. Moore! (Rolfe) is a small species which flowered in the Royal 
Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, in September, 1899. It has broadly elliptical 
leaves, about 14 inches long, and purple underneath, and dull red-purple 
flowers about nine lines long, lined with darker purple, and the laterab 
openings about six lines long. 
C. MacuLaTus (Rolfe in Gard. Chron., 1887, ii, p- 693) flowered 
at Kew in 1887, and is probably of Brazilian origin, as another plant 
received at the same time from Mr. Walker proved to be Saundersi@ 
mirabilis. The flowers are about three lines long, marbled and spotted all 
over with brown on a paler ground, and the lateral openings about 4 line 
long. 
C. minutus (Rolfe in Kew Bull., 1895, p. 5) is a minute species, 
far smaller than any other yet known, the whole plant but little over half sg 
inch high. It flowered with Mr. James O’Brien, Harrow-on-the-Hill, 
November, 1891, but its habitat is not yet known. The flowers are large 
for the size of the plant, being 24 lines long, and deep maroon-purple 10 
colour, while the lateral openings are about a line long. 
There are three other Brazilian species, not yet known in cultivation, a5
