This beautiful plant exists in gardens as a variety of either C. Andersonii or punctatum, from both of which it is perfectly distinct. The flowers are large and yellow like the first, and they are slightly speckled with crimson like the second; but there the resemblance ends. At the base of the lip is to be found a convex warted crest unknown in C. Andersonii, and at the end of the lip there is no trace of the tubercles so conspicuous on the edge, of C. punctatum. The specimen from which the foregoing definition has been prepared was sent me by R. Hanbury, Esq., in August, 1847.
