G. Seegerianum, Hort. 
Though greatly inferior in the dimensions of all its parts 
to the type of the genus @. speciosum (Tab. 5157), G. 
Rumphianum must still, taking into aceount the size of 
the pseudobulbs, rank amongst the most massive of 
orchids. Its nearest, and indeed very near ally, 1s G. 
Fenzlianum, Reichb. f. (Xen. Orchid. vol. ii. t. 16), which 
differs in the smaller size of the flowers, with fewer smaller 
spots, and which, being a native of Amboyna, should per- 
haps rather than this, have borne the name of the author of 
the “ Hortus Amboinensis.” G. Measuresranum is, I think, 
a garden name for G@. Fenzlianum rather than of Rumphia- 
num, - 
Two plants of G. Rumphianum flowered simultaneously 
at Kew in June, 1895, of which one was received from 
the Botanic Gardens of Hongkong, with the information 
that it camo from Kudah in Borneo. The other was 
obtained from Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., under the name 
of G. Gulielmi II., Krenzlin. The flowers remain fresh for 
Decemper Ist, 1896.
