236 ORCHIDES. 



COELOGYNE 



on rocks Grifflih ; Nipal Buchanan Hamilton ; branches of oaks on Loudour; at 7500 

 feet. during the moisture of ihe rainy season Royle; B. Sikkim . on trees at 5—8000 

 feet J. D. Hooker; C. Pundua Waliich (v. v. c. et s. sp.) 



Flowers very showy, decp rose-coloured , fully ihree inches long, solitary, or 

 occasionally in pairs. The two first varieiies above mentioned difler noi only in ihe 

 colour of the leaves , which are green in ihe one and crimson in the oiher, but in 

 the form and te.xture of the flowers which are shorter and more fleshy in B. than in 

 A. In both ihe pseudobulbs are richly spotted wiih crimson. A most beautiful plant. 

 with fainily scented flowers. — J. D. H. Called Caybu swa in Nipal according lo 

 Buchanan Hamihon. 



With regard to C. Wallichiana , I am obliged to confess that it must be regarded 

 as a mere variety. I have seen no wild specimen, unless perhaps a plant gathered 

 by Griffith, and forming n. 1017 of one of his series. Undoubiediy it has ihe end 

 of the lip more abruptly separaied from ihe sides ihan in A. or B. , and plaited as 

 well as toothed; and , moreover. the crests of the lip are very short and confined to 

 Ihe disk. But these are nol distinctions upon which it is safe lo rely. Griffiih's C. 

 Waliichiana is in all respects A. Mr. Bateman has well described the general appea- 

 rance of C. ,,The pseudobulb has much ihe form and liue of a trufile , and loses its 

 leaf before the appearance of the flowers, which come up one on either side. They 

 are almosi as large as those of Cattleya labiata , and are of a uniformly rich transparent 

 rose-colour, except in the interior of the lip , which is decorated wilh a bioad streak 

 of yellow on its disk and traversed by five porallel ridges of white tubercles. There 

 are also a few deep crirason stains scattered on ils surface". The naiive name is 

 Atia-Palangcha. according to Wallich.

 Malacca, near Pulo Bisar, on ihe coast . is certainly not a species of this genus. It 

 is said to have tolerably large , white , very fugitive flowers ; and to be three to four 

 feel high. I possess a specimen. bui not in a state for examination. The innore- 

 scence is that of Bromheadia. It may be a Pholidota.
