Other species in cultivation at Kew and elsewhere, but not of 
ponent horticultural interest, are: D. eulophotum, D. Fitzalani, 
. hainanense, D. herbaceum (syn. D, ramosissimum), D. linguiforme 
(B. M. 5249), D. lonchophyllum, D. monophyllum (F. A. O. 1., pt. vi., 
t. 9), D. Mooreanum, D. Mortii, D. O’Brienianum, D. panduratum, 
D. parcum (R. X. O., t. 169), D. quadrilobum, D. signatum, 
D. strongylanthum, D. stuposum, and B. terminale. 
A variety of D. nobile. 
From the first, the nomenclature of hybrid Dendrobiums 
has been in a state of confusion, owing to distinctive names 
having been given to plants derived from the same 
parentage. We, therefore, give a list of names with 
parentage as recorded.
