calli yellow, forming two dense rows, whieh terminate a short distance 
within the margin below the terminal sinus. Column very short, its 
membranous wings extending upwards and forming a point behind the 
anther. Anther-lid hemispherical, slightly tomentose. Pollen-masses, free, 
white. Stigma, large, amber-coloured. 
Hab.: Cape Nelson, Collingwood Bay, British New Guinea. On 
mangrove-trees, Rev. Copeland King. After a considerable amount of 
search, I have not been able to find that the above plant has been 
described; therefore, have attached to it the above name. It seems a 
close ally of D. terminale (Parish and Reichb.) of India. The species is 
pretty and well worthy of cultivation, but would probably require the 
protection of a house during our winter months. 
2. Dendrobium ($ Aporum) Coxii Bailey, l. c., p. 411. 
Stems numerous, from a shortly branched creeping rhizome, from 
the underside of which roots are emitted, which penetrate the old bark . 
of the trees upon which the plant grows. Stems, drooping, numerous, 
bulbous at the immediate base; then very slender for 4 to 6 in., not 
exceeding 1 line in diameter; then gradually expanding for a length of 
from 2 to 6 in. to about 4 lines broad, and prominently 4-angular; the 
internodes throughout the stem numerous, none exceeding 9 lines in 
length, often much less. Leaves (which I have not seen) are said by 
Mr. Cox to be „distichous, 2 or 3, small, of a light-green colour, pro- 
duced near the top of the stems*. Bracts at base of pedicel, 3; outer 
broadly-ovate, acuminate, 2 lines long, and nearly as broad; the 2nd as 
long, but much narrower; the 3rd filiform, and rather longer than the 
others. Pedicel, rather stout, 5 lines long, including the ovary. Sepals 
of equal length, 11 lines long; the dorsal, 4 lines broad, lateral ones 
somewhat more and linear-lanceolate, forming at their base a broad 
short spur; longitudinal nerves, about 7, very faint, like the transverse 
veinlets. Petals, nearly the length of the sepals, but narrower; the 
midrib somewhat prominent. Labellum, much shorter than the other 
segments, very broad, forming a cuspidate cup by the terminal lobe; 
sides of the cup marked with about 12 almost parallel lines of a lilac 
colour. Disk lines, 3. but slightly raised; beyond these, quite at the 
base, is a large tongue-shaped raised gland. Column, short, side wings 
rather broad. No pollen-masses in the flower examined. | 
Hab.: The material received for the determination of the above 
species consisted of a single, loose flower, and a few dead stems 
attached to a portion of the rhizome, forwarded to me by Editor of 
„Ihe Garden and Field“, Adelaide, for determination. The plant was 
growing in the garden of Mr. E. Baxter Cox, of Walkerville, near 
Adelaide. The above name is given only provisionally, waiting more 
complete specimens.
