on mountains near Patung, and from his material was 
described by Mr. Rolfe as Coelogyne pogonioides, in 
accordance with the idea long entertained, but now 
abandoned, that Pleione is no more than a section of 
Coelogyne. It was subsequently collected in various 
localities by Mr. Henry and by Mr. E. H. Wilson, who 
supplied living plants to Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, 
which, however, do not appear to have flowered. Mr. - 
Rolfe finds that the plant described at the same time 
as C. Henryi is only an unusually well-developed form of 
P. pogonioides. The cultural requirements for P. pogoni- 
oides are the same as for 2. praccox and the other species 
usually met with in collections.
