DENDROBIUM EGERTONLE. 
D. Egertonie ; caule tereti erecto basi ebulbi, folis ....... , floribus 
2-4-nis, sepalis linearibus obtusis petalis angustioribus, labello ovato 
obtuso unguiculato parum undulato basi ciliato superne margine leevius- 
culo intus villoso, columná antice glabrá basi bicameratà, antherä 
pubescente, calcaris apice etuberculato. 
This species has for some time been cultivated by Sir 
Philip Egerton, to whom I am indebted for a specimen. It 
is very near JD. mesochlorum, but the flowers are not half the 
size; the sepals are pale pink outside; there is very little 
appearance of a purple stain on the tips of the petals and lip, 
and the middle of the lip is dull yellow, not green. There 
is, moreover, no tubercle at the back of the point of the spur, 
and the lip is not fringed except at its base. If itis less showy 
'a species than D. mesochlorum, it is not on that account less 
valuable, for its flowers are delightfully scented towards 
evening. The plant was obtained by Sir Philip from the 
Botanic Garden, Saharunpur. 
DENDROBIUM MESOCHLORUM. 
D. mesochlorum ; caule tereti erecto basi ebulbi, foliis lanceolatis acuminatis, 
floribus subquaternis, sepalis ovali-linearibus obtusis petalis angus- 
tioribus, labello ovato obtuso unguiculato undulato fimbriato (prsesertim 
basi) intus villoso, columnä antice glabrá basi bicameratä foveatä, an- 
therà pubescente, calcaris apice a tergo gibboso. 
This beautiful species, allied to D. crumenatum, and re- 
sembling it in habit, although destitute of a bulbous base to 
its stems, was imported from India by Messrs. Veitch, aud 
exhibited by them at the last meeting of the Horticultural 
Society, where it gained the medal. It is not. discoverable 
among any. of Dr. Blume's Onychiums, of which it would be 
one. The flowers are white, of the size of D. crumenatum, 
with a violet spot at the end of the petals and lip, and with a 
green stain in the centre of the latter. They have a faint 
but agreeable odour.
