Calanthe Hennisii Loher is the Philippine representative of Calanthe 
vestita, but differs from the latter in having the scape, pedicels, and the 
back of the sepals more strongly villous, and the lobes of the lip rather 
narrower, while the bracts are relatively broader. The flowers are 
slightly smaller, white, with a slight tinge of sulphur, and a yellow 
throat to the lip. The pedicels assume a distinct indigo-blue tint on 
drying, and there is a tinge of the same colour in the sepals and petals.

G. Veitchiorum is a larger, more robust plant than G. ornata, with 
relatively broad, obtuse leaves, larger flowers, with broader corolla-lobes, 
and very broad, toothed folds between them. The flowers are of an 
intense blue with light longitudinal bands on the outside.

Obwohl nur fruchttragende Exemplare vorliegen, glaube ich sie doch 
àls eine neue Art betrachten zu kónnen. Die kennzeichnenden Charaktere 
Sind die oben abgerundeten, kleinen Blütter und vor allem ihre Be- 
haarung. Auch auf den ältesten Blättern ist die ganze Oberseite mit 
einer niedrigen Schicht kleiner Sternhaare bedeckt, die die Blattfläche 
rauh macht; die Unterseite ist äusserst dicht und äusserst ye wollig,
