It is very near C. fimbriala and ovalis, from which ils crests, interrupled somewbere 

 above the base , seem to distinguish it clearly. The Sikkim and Khasia specimens 

 from Hooker and Thonison have flowers much smaller than the cultivated plant; but 

 beyond size, I find no raarks of disiinclion. 



In like manner there is among Hooker and Thomson'8 Khasia plants (Nr. 130) a 

 very large - fiowered imperfect specimen of this breed , beyond size undistinguishable 

 by the materials before me. It is probably another species. — Huc: Lem. Jard. fl. t. 7.

Chelonanthera miniata. Blume, p. 385. 

 Wild in Java ; near ihe cataracts of the R. Tjikundul, on M. Gede , and on the lofty 

 parts of M. Salak on trees Blume. — There is a drawing among Professor Reinwardls, 

 under ihe name of Dendrobium miniatum , which I suppose to be this planl. Il has 

 the habit of Pholidola arliculata , wilh racemes from one to two inches long, and 

 pinkish flowers three - quarters of an inch long. The bracts are deciduous and like 

 those of C. odoratissima.
