This handsome Coelogyne was introduced from Annam 
by Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, through their 
collector, Mr. Micholitz, who found it growing at an eleva- 
tion of 4,500 ft. above sea level on the Laos aspect of the 
Lang Bian range. It flowered first, in December, 1906, at 
St. Albans and simultaneously at the Royal Botanic 
Garden, Glasnevin. Another plant presented to the Kew 
collection by Messrs. Sander has not yet flowered, though it 
has thriven well under the cultural conditions suitable for 
C. cristata, Lindl., to which it is more nearly allied than to 
any other known form. The material on which the original 
description was based, and that employed in preparing the 
plate now given, has been supplied from the Glasnevin 
plant by Mr. F. W. Moore, after whom the species has been 
named. The largest flower-spike so far produced in culti- 
vation has borne eight flowers. These in structure and as 
regards the appendages of the lip are very like the flowers 
Fesrvary, 1910.
