This, if not a very showy, is a very fragrant species of Celogyne, 
very common in the hilly and mountain regions of North-eastern 
India. Introduced to our collection by Thomas Brocklehurst, 
Esq., of the Fence, near Macclesfield. In the Royal Gardens it 
flowers in May, when our drawing was made. 
Descr. Pseudo-bulbs clustered, small, oblong, slightly tapering, 
compressed below, obtusely four-angled above, at the base sheathed 
by the lower portion of large membranaceous scales. Leaves 
two or three, terminating the fully formed pseudo-bulbs, lan- 
ceolate, submembranaceous, striated and subplicated, acute, 
tapering below into a long petiole, at length deciduous. The 
young pseudo-bulbs, before the leaves are developed, produce at 
the apex the nearly erect peduncle, with its raceme of seven or 
eight fragrant, white blotched with yellow flowers. Bracteas 
lanceolate, boat-shaped, membranaceous, deciduous. 5 and 
petals subspathulato-ovate, acute, spreading, pure white. _ Lip 
oblong, three-lobed ; lateral lobes rounded, curved in (forming a 
concave base to the lower half of the labellum), somewhat gib- 
bous or obtusely spurred below; middle lobe ovato-acuminate, 
JULY Ist, 1852.
