not villous ; and in the lip not having a central ridge, which 
is conspicuous in C. picturatum. 
A native of Manilla, whence it was received by Messrs. 
Loddiges, with whom our drawing was made in March 1841. 
Fig. 1. represents a flower much magnified, with the long 
lateral sepals cut off ; the petals are by no means well figured ; 
they, as well as the upper sepal, taper into a fine bristle-like 
point. Fig. 2. is the labellum. 
It may be potted in turfy heath-mould, mixed with pieces 
of small potsherds ; or it may be suspended on a block of 
wood, with a little sphagnum about its roots to retain moisture. 
Like many species of Pleurothallis, Stelis, &c. this requires a 
humid atmosphere in winter as well as in summer ; but it 
should always be remembered, that the more light and heat, 
the more water is required. During the warm summer 
months, when the temperature of the house (although shaded) 
can scarcely be kept below 80°, the water required will he 
twice as much as is necessary in winter, when the temperature 
should never be raised above 50° or 55 0 by artificial means.
