tinct one, in another as only a variety of C. Parishi. 
In 1910 a small collection of orchids from Tenasserim 
was presented to Kew by Mr. H. Tilly, of Moulmein. 
One of these was the Coelogyne which forms the subject 
of our illustration. _ It was, when it arrived, rather a 
small plant, but it has grown well in the Tropical Orchid 
House under the treatment suitable for C. lentiginosa, 
Lindl., for which C. brachyptera was taken until it flowered, 
which it did for the first time in May, 1914. Although 
no type specimen of C. brachyptera is available for com- 
parison, the orange disk of the lip and the absence of 
the numerous elongated processes justify at once the 
separation of this plant from C. Parishii and its reference 
to the long lost species.
