 DENDEOBIUM Bullerianum. 

 Mr. Wentworth Bailer's Dendrobium. 



Xat. Ord. Orciiide.e. — Gynandria Monandria. 

 Gen. Char. (Vide supra, Tab. 4755.) 



Dendrobium Bullerianum ; caulibus suberectk striatis foliosis (floriferis 

 aphyllis), foliia ovato-lanceolatis acutis, floribus geminatis vel ternatis, 

 bracteis ovatis acutis pedicellis 5-plo brevioribus, sepalis petalisque 

 (paulo latioribus) lanceolatis acutis, labello integro late ovato acuto 

 macula magna circulari aurea supra discum. Bateman. 



Dendrobium gratiosissimum. Hort. 



A few plants of this pretty Dendrobium were imported 

 two or three years ago from Moulmeine by the Messrs. Hugh 

 Low and Co. of Clapton, to whom they had been sent — like 

 so many other additions to this beautiful genus — by their 

 indefatigable correspondent, Mr. Parish. In structure it is 

 perhaps most nearly allied to T). crepidatum, from whence 

 the form of the lip abundantly distinguishes it : while in the 

 size and colouring, and general effect of its flowers, it some- 

 what resembles the otherwise very different D. Dewnianum. 



Mr. Wentworth Buller, one of our most zealous Orchidolo- 

 gists, having been the first to flower this plant in his very 

 rich collection at Strete Raleigh, Devon, I have great plea- 

 sure in naming the plant in his honor. He describes it as 

 of very easy cultivation in the Dendrobium house, where it 

 flowers in the spring. 



Desck. Stems nearly erect, slender at the base, and rising 

 to upwards of a foot in height, striated, leafless when flower- 

 ing. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, two or three inches long, sharp- 

 pointed, falling off before the flowers appear. Bracts ovate, 

 acute, five times longer than the pedicels. Flowers in twos 

 and threes, of a creamy white, faintly tipped with rose. Sepals 

 august 1st, 1867.
