From the Collection of Joun Aticarp, Esq. of Stratford 
Green, where Epiphytes, and more especially exotic Ferns, 
are cultivated with a degree of success that I have rarely 
witnessed elsewhere. The present beautiful species of 
CaLoeyne, we are informed by Dr. Watuicu, is a native of 
Silhet and of the Sermore mountains of the East Indies, 
and was first introduced into this country by Mr. Loppices. 
The pure white of the petals and sepals and the clear orange 
spots of the labellum render the flowers extremely hand- 
some and ornamental. 
Descr. Pseudo-bulbs ovate, acuminated, wrinkled ; at 
first green, afterwards purple ; while young, partly sheathed 
by large brown scales. Leaves two, a span long, ligulate, 
one-nerved, somewhat coriaceous. Peduncle from between 
the leaves, clothed with long sheathing scales. Raceme erect, 
or drooping towards the upper end, shorter than the leaves, 
with four to six large flowers. Sepals spreading, oblong, 
obtuse, pure white. Petals similar to them but narrower, 
also spreading. Lip applied to the column, oblong, three- 
lobed, lateral lobes obtuse, erect and incurved, the middle 
lobe ovato-cordate, obtuse, the colour is white tinged with 
yellow, and veined with orange: within each lateral lobe is 
a large ocellated orange spot, and there are three smaller 
ones at the base of the terminal lobe. The disk of the lip 
has three longitudinal, waved lamelle. Column long, 
slender, white, the margin and disk in front yellow. Anther- 
case green, surrounded by the obscurely three-lobed margin 
of the top of the column. Pollen-masses yellow.
