long and two inches thick; leaves eighteen inches long and half 
an inch broad; flower spike three feet long, and slender, pro¬ 
ducing five or six flowers of a yellowish colour, the sepals and 
petals blotched with brown. This I consider should have been 
placed with the genus Oncidium, as the only difference is in the 
labellum being narrower at the base, where it forms an acute 
angle with the column, instead of an obtuse angle. This requires 
the same treatment and temperature as the others.— Native of 
Guatemala. 
54. Cyrtochilum Maculatum. Plant bulbous, bulbs from 
two to four inches long, waved and tapering towards the summit; 
leaves in pairs upwards of one foot long; flowers, sepals, and 
petals greenish yellow, beautifully blotched with dark crimson, 
labellum pale sulphur colour. The same treatment and tem¬ 
perature as the others.— Native of Brazil. 
55. Cyrtochilum Maculatum , var. This is one of the loveliest 
of its genus; the growth is similar to its parent species, but the 
flowers are larger and handsomer ; the sepals and petals are of a 
greenish ground, blotched with dark brown; column white, with 
its helmet yellow, labellum white with a few small pale stripes of 
brown on the breast, and greenish towards the apex.— Native of 
Guatemala. 
56. Ccelogyne Cristatum. (Derived from the labellum having 
a tuft or crest.) Plant pseudo-bulbous, of an angular shape ; 
leaves in pairs, when they become old of a lanceolate form ; the 
raceme pendant produced from the young bulbs; flowers of a pure 
white, with a fine fringe of yellow in the centre of the labellum, 
and very fragrant. This requires pot culture in a mixture of 
sphagnum, turfy peat, and rotten leaves, also in a temperature of 
70°. It should be in every selection.— Native of India. 
57. Ccelogyne Flacida. (Derived from the raceme drooping.) 
Plant bulbous, bulbs nearly four inches long; leaves sometimes 
in pairs, raceme drooping eight or ten inches'long; sepals and 
petals snow white, labellum white blotched with yellow at the 
base of the middle of the lobe, and at the base of the middle of 
the disc. This also requires the same treatment and tempera¬ 
ture as the other, and should be in every collection.— Native of 
India. 
58. Ccelogyne Gardneriana. Plant bulbous, bulbs eight 
inches long and one inch thick, tapering a little towards the 
summit; leaves in pairs, one foot long and a little lanceolate ; 
flowers produced from a large pendant raceme. This requires the 
same treatment and temperature as the others ; it also should 
be in every collection.— Native of India.
