Of this tropical Asiatic genus, no Jess than forty-three species 
are described by Dr. Lindley in the fifth part of his valuable 
‘ Folia Orchidacea,’ published in 1853. Among the additions 
that have been since made is the present one from Moulmein, 
introduced by Messrs. Veitch and Son, of the Exeter and Chel- 
sea Nurseries, through their collector, Mr. Thomas Lobb. It 
flowered in J une, 1858. Iam indebted to Dr. Lindley for the — 
hame of this plant, and for the extract of the specific character: -

New plants form by the side of the old bulbs, at first — 
exhibiting an appearance of pseudobulbs; these are fully 2
