CeLoeyne. Griffith, Ic. t.. 290 (Lindl.). 
A plant of Bootan, first discovered by Dr. Wallich in Nepal 
and Sylhet, then detected in Bootan, and figured by the late 
Mr. Griffith, but without assigning to it any specific name. ie 
was subsequently found in Sikkim-Himalaya by Dr. Hooker, at 
elevations of from 4000 to 6000 feet above the level of the sea; 
and at Kamaon, in the Sarjee Valley, at 3700 feet, by Messrs. 
Strachey and Winterbottom. The specimen here figured was 
sent to us by Mr. Parker, of the Nursery at Hornsey. It be- 
longs to a remarkable group of Cwlogyne, “ all of which agree 
in having a number of hard imbricated scales immediately below
