fringed with hairs. Young plants of this and some other 
species from Sindaung were presented by Lady Wheeler 
Cufie in August, 1913, to the Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Glasnevin. From one of these, which flowered in May, 
1915, came the material on which our figure is based. 
Sir Frederick Moore, to whom we are also indebted for 
a photograph from which the sketch of the entire plant 
has been prepared, informs us that in some of the 
examples the basal swellings are much larger than in 
the one figured. The establishment of the plants proved 
slow, but after twelve months in moist heat in shade it 
was possible’ to remove them to a cool orchid house 
where in a deep shade they thrive well. A year later 
they were transferred to a cool greenhouse, with a night 
temperature of 45° F., and with ample ventilation. Here 
they have flowered and by their behaviour afford hope 
that they may even be hardy out of doors in the milder 
parts of the United Kingdom. They have been grown 
in ordinary heavy peat, and when once they are well 
established their cultivation offers no difficulty. One of 
the distinguishing features of J. Cuffeanum is its 
fragrance. 
Descrietion.—Shrub, loosely branched; stem swollen at the base; new 
shoots pale grey, beset with brown sessile peltate scales; older pale-brown, 
closely marked with the traces of fallen scales. Leaves few, widely scattered,

somewhat gradually narrowed, up to 4 in. long, 12 in. wide, coriaceous, at first 
sparingly glandular-lepidote above, at length glabrous and distinctly reticulately 
nerved, below paler and densely glandular-lepidote, the scales small, brown, 
unequal in size and discrete; mid-rib sunk above, slightly raised beneath ; 
lateral nerves 6-7 along each side, slender, flexuous,’ slightly raised on both 
surfaces ; petiole about 4} in. long, compressed, closely lepidote. Flowers in 
terminal umbels; umbels about 5-flowered; pedicels 4-2 in. long, closely 
lepidote. Calyx leafy, about 3 in. long, unequally 5-lobed, the two lower lobes 
the largest,oblong or rounded-oblong, lepidote outside and with a fringe of weak

on the upper side within; tube 1} in. long, abont % in. wide above the base, 
softly pubescent outside ; lobes 5, rounded, about 3 in. wide at the base, 
sparingly lepidote. Stamens 10, exserted, unequal, the longest rather shorter
