Ccelogyne Hoolccriana is a spring flowering species, common 

 in moist-mossy banks in Sikkim at the altitudes cited above. 

 I am indebted for the accompanying drawing by Miss 

 P. H. Wool ward, to Mr. Elwes, who imported the plant from 

 Sikkim, and flowered it in May of the present year. 



Descr. Whole plant one to five inches high. Pseudobulbs 

 one half to one inch long, ovoid, smooth, not grooved nor 

 covered with a net work. Sheaths at the base of the scape 

 quite smooth, appressed, finely grooved. Leaf solitary, 

 appearing with the flower, membranous, one to two inches 

 long, elliptic lanceolate, acuminate, finely plaited, deep bright 

 green. Scape shorter than the leaf, slender, one-flowered. 

 Floiver two to two and a half inches across the petals, bright 

 rose colour, except the pale lip, which is blotched at the apex 

 with pale brown purple. Sepals and petals very variable in 

 breadth, elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, spreading. Lip as long 

 as the sepals or longer, convolute and cylindric for as far as 

 the lateral lobes extend, then expanded into a small green 

 refuse terminal lobe that is almost continuous with the 

 lateral; disk with seven slender crested lamellaB. Column 

 quite free, very slender, expanded and cuneate at the tip, 

 with acute lateral angles that are recurved. — J. D. H.
