This charming plant grows usually at the foot of the Nibong 
palms, Oncosperma filamentosum, Blume, in sandy places on the 
coast near the mangrove swamps. It appears to be almost con- 
fined to the coasts of the Johore Strait, where, however, it is by 
no meansrare. Itisa straggling, far-creeping plant, with flowers 
resembling in colouring those of ('. panduratt, Lindl., but some- 
what smaller. I presume this is Reichenbach’s C. Mayerran, 
a plant described without locality, and which has been lost from 
European cultivation. As it seems to be so little known L have 
re-described it more fully. 
CaLoayne panpurata, Lindl. cn Gard. Chiron. (1853) p. 791. 
Hab. Perak: Scortechini, rather rave. Abundant in Borneo 
and Sumatra.
