Launch Camp, at sea-level.

 pear-shaped, rugose.

CcELOGTXE Beccarti, Beichb. fll. in Bot. Centralb. xxviii. (1886) 345. 



Cainp 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 Kranzlin as C MichoUtziana , 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 Kraazlin's species shows no elevated margin to the 

 clinandriusn, a most unusual, if not unique, character in the genus, and therefore 

 dubious. 



Plattclinis longifolia, Hemsl. in Gard. Chron. 1881, ii. 256, forma ^a/5«a?^ff. 



A living plant collected by Mr. "WoUaston, 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 

 distinctly acute lip, and the stelidia being free nearer to the stigma. 



Distrib. Malay Archipelago. 



Phaius BLTJiiEi, Lindl. Gen. and Sp. Orch. PL 127. 

 Camp VI «, 3100 ft. 

 Distrib. Malay Peninsula and Islands. 



Calantiie Engleriana, Kranzl. in K. Schura. & Lauterb. Fl. Deutsch. Schutzg. Siidsee, 

 Suppl. 142. 



Canoe Camp, about 150 ft., and Camp III, 2500 ft. 



" Flowers greenish-white, calli deep yellow." 



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 cm. across, the spur 

 5 cm. long and shorter than the ovary and pedicel, which are 7 cm. long. I doubt
