C&LoGYNE ASPERATA, Lindl. in Journ. Hort. Soc. iv. (1849) 221. 
Camps III to VI a, 2500 to 3100 ft. 
Distrib. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and New Guinea. 
CEŒLOGYNE VEITCHII, Rolfe, in Kew Bull. 1895, 282. 
Launch Camp, at sea-level. 
| Flowers white, leaves lance-shaped, 12 inches long.  Pseudobulbs 3 inches long, 
pear-shaped, rugose. 
Distrib. Endemic in New Guinea. 
CaroayNE Beccanrtl, Reichb. fil. in Bot. Centralb. xxviii. (1886) 345. 
Camp I, 700 ft., and between Camps III and VIII, 2500 to 5500 ft. 
“Petals pale greenish white, hood white at the tip, lip tawny in the centre and tip 
cream-white.” 
Distrib. Endemic in New Guinea. 
I believe the plant described by Kráuzlin as C. Wicholitziana, in Gard. Chron. 1891, 
ii. 300, and Xenia Orchid. iii. 100, t. 256. is the same species. Reichenbach’s description 
is bad, and the rough figure of Kránzlin's species shows no elevated margin to the 
clinandrium, a most unusual, if not unique, character in the genus, and therefore 
dubious. 
PLATYCLINIS LONGIFOLIA, Hemsl. in Gard. Chron. 1881, ii. 256, forma papuana. 
A living plant eollected by Mr. Wollaston, and flowered in the Honourable Charles 
Rothschild’s garden, June 1914; the precise locality was not noted. 
P. longifolia, Hemsl., is a native of the mangrove swamps of Singapore, Johore, and 
Borneo, and plants identified as conspecific have been obtained in Luzon. The specimen 
sent by the Honourable Charles Rothschild from the New Guinea collection differs 
from the Singapore plant in the green not yellowish sepals and petals, the more | 
distinetly acute lip, and the stelidia being free nearer to the stigma. 
Distrib. Malay Archipelago.

I have little doubt that this is the plant referred to by Kranzlin, and the species 
figured by J. J. Smith in ‘Nova Guinea, viii t. 7. 124. It differs, however, from 
the type somewhat in the size of the flowers. The perianth is 4 em. across, the spur - 
5 em. long and shorter than the ovary and pedicel, which are 7 cm. long. I doubt
