considerations I have till lately refrained from saying any 
thing about the plant now figured. It has in some respects 
so much the appearance of C. maculatum, that when 1 first 
received it from Mr. Veitch of Exeter, in March 1842, I 
hesitated whether to regard it as a variety or a distinct 
species. A plant, however, obtained from Brazil direct by 
Messrs. Loddiges (Cat. no. 890) has given me courage to 
regard it as the latter. It has a short raceme of much larger 
greenish -yellow flowers, with broad chocolate-brown blotches, 
and its lip is quite remarkable, having 5 finger-like lobes, 
and no more, instead of the lateral comb-like fringes of 
C. maculatum.
