Although a very accurate representation of this pretty 
Calogyne appeared fifteen years ago in Dr. Wight’s ‘ Icones, 
it never, so far as I am aware, took its place among our living 
collections before the year 1863, when some specimens were 
received from India by the Royal Gardens at Kew. It is 
found, according to Dr. Wight, near Courtallum, Tulney 
Mountains (Neilgherries), where it flowers in August and 
September. It also grows wild in Khasya, according to Lobb. 
The figure is taken from a specimen that flowered at Kny- 
persley in the summer of the present year. Like many other 
Celogynes, it will not thrive in the East Indian house, but is 
quite at home in the coolest part of the Cattleya house. It 
should be grown in a pot. 
The wrinkled pseudobulbs, which unfortunately are not so 
well rendered on the opposite page as in Dr. Wight’s plate, 
~ are almost peculiar to the species. 
Descr. Pseudobulbs in tufts, ovate, very much (reticulately) 
wrinkled, two-leaved. Leaves about a span long, oblong, sub- 
acuminate, rather longer than the racemes. Racemes three- 
to six-flowered. Bracts boat-shaped, oblong. Sepals and 
petals nearly equal, oblong, acute, pure white. Lip three- 
lobed, lateral lobes smaller and blunter than the central
