From the collection of the Royal Gardens, having been derived 
from Assam. It was supposed to be a new species of Dendro- 
bium, but a careful comparison with the true plant, D. crepida- 
tum, shows, that though the flowers are very delicate and prettily 
coloured, the plant cannot be considered other than as a variety of 
that species, with a glabrous labellum, and with the involuted 
sides near the base (as seen in our Tab. 4993) spread out, so as 
labellum. We need only refer to 
to give a different form to the 
the description at the Tab. just quoted, for more particulars of 
this species.
