" This lovely Orchklea comes so near to Roxburgh's 

 Dendrohlum clavatum (Hort. Beng. p. 63), that I should 

 consider tliem as identical, if he had not ascribed bulbs to 

 his plant, of which ours is entirely destitute. In the Calcutta 

 garden the two plants maintain that character, although in 

 other respects they are alike. It is possible that under 

 particular circumstances, the bulbs or pseudo-bulbs may 

 become elongated into clavate stems, and if so the Silhet 

 plant would be the same species with ours from Nipal." 



The above we borrow from Dr. Wallich's splendid Plantae 

 Asiaticse. 



Beautiful as is the specimen of this plant, represented in 

 the accompanying figure, it is still inferior to what is pro- 

 duced in India, so that cultivators have still a point to gain 

 in respect to this charming species. Our drawing was 

 made in the stove of Messrs. Loddiges in May last. 



Since the last addition to the published species of Den- 

 drobium, we have received from Mr. Allan Cunningham 

 specimens of a most remarkable new kind, with the fol- 

 lowing memorandum. 



" Dendrohlum cassythoides; aphyllum, caule glabro stoloni- 

 fero, floribus racemosis, racemis (stolonibus oppositis) sub- 

 tribrachiatis, bracteis lanceolato-ovatis appressis, labello con- 

 voluto indiviso apice incurvo crispato, [callo lineari in medio 

 vt altero ovato acuminato sub apice."] 



"A leafless stoloniferous plant, with tribrachiate racemes 

 of flowers, of which the perianths are of a brownish or golden 

 yellow colour, and the labellum white, and elegantly pencilled 

 within, as in D. Picrco'dl/'
