This very fine Orchideous plant is so very unlike the hitherto 
best-known species of Calogyne (generally showy and highly 
ornamental, white or rose-colour, more or less mottled with yel- 
low and dark-purple), that at first sight it would not he easily 
recognized as belonging to the genus: yet it possesses all the 
characters. Indeed it is rare for flowers of any genus to be so 
truly green as in the present plant. It is a native of Borneo, 
imported by Mr. Low, of the Clapton Nursery, and described by 
Dr. Lindley in the works above quoted, from a flowering plant 
in the possession of Messrs. Loddiges, Hackney Nursery, De- 
cember, 1853. Although a native specimen from Mr. Low, 
Jun., is in the Hookerian Herbarium, sent to us by Mr. Low, 
Jun., from Borneo, we have not ourselves had the advantage of 
seeing the living plant. The accompanying figure is from a = 
specimen in the Orchideous House of — Butler, Esq., Par 
Place, Woolwich. We therefore take advantage of Dr. Lindley’s
