This very distinct Coclogyne is a native of the Philip- 
pines, and was originally described in 1910, the locality 
being given as Mount Pulog, in the Province of Benguet, 
in the lower mossy forest, at about 7,000 feet above 
sea-level, where it was collected by Mr. E. D. Merrill in 
1900. It had previously been collected by Mr. A. Loher 
in the same province, as is shown by specimens preserved 
at Kew. Some three years after it was described it 
appeared in cultivation, having been exhibited by 
Messrs. Sander and Sons at the Chelsea Show of the 
Royal Horticultural Society in May, 1913. It is allied 
to the rare Javan (. cinnamomea, Teijsm. et Binn., but 
has a pandurate lip, somewhat narrowed behind, instead 
of being broadly ovate, and the area between the entire 
keels is dark red-brown, with a band of the same colour 
on the side lobes. The rest of the flower is light green. 
The plant here figured was received from Messrs. Sander,
