Botanic Garden, near Turen, and described in 1900. Soon 
afterwards it was met with by M. Rimestad, a collector of 
Orchids in Java, who sent a drawing to Europe, and 
ultimately living plants, one of which was exhibited at a 
meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society in September, 
1903, by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. ‘The plant figured 
was purchased by Kew from Messrs. Sander & Sons, and 
began to flower in a Tropical House in October, 1905, 
continuing for a long period. At the present time another 
inflorescence is following the same course.
