This handsome Coelogyne was discovered by Mr. W. 
Micholitz when collecting in Annam for Messrs. Sander 
& Sons, St. Albans, and living plants were sent home, one 
of which flowered in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, 
Bart., at Burford, in March, 1905, when it was exhibited at 
a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, and received 
an Award of Merit. It is a very distinct species, best 
comparable, among cultivated ones, to Coelogyne speciosa, 
Lindl. (B.M. t. 4889), though readily distinguished by 
its longer scape, which, moreover, is borne at the apex of 
the mature pseudobulb, not from the centre of the young 
growths. The details of the lip and keels are also quite 
different. The plant here figured was presented to Kew by 
Messrs. Sander, and it has since been grown in a warm 
house. 
The genus is widely diffused in India and the Malay 
Archipelago, and a good many species are in cultivation, 
varying considerably in habit and in the colour of the 
flowers. Among those figured in this work may be 
mentioned C. pandurata, Lindl. (t. 5084), a striking species 
Novemspgg, 1907.
