AN GECTOCHILUS. 53 
A. Dominianum.—A hybrid raised by Messrs. Veitch and 
Sons from A. xanthophyllum and Goodyera discolor. Stem 
tin. thick, fleshy; leaves 24in. by 1}in., ovate, olive-green, 
streaked and flaked with apple-yellow. This plant is 
one of the handsomest members of the genus, but it is 
very rare. 
A. intermedium.—This is probably a robust variety of 
A. Roxburghii: It has an erect stem, 3in. or more long; 
leaves 23in. by 14in., the surface coloured bronzy-green, 
with a silky sheen, the midrib marked with a band of grey 
at the base, and striped and veined with shining gold. A 
native of Ceylon. 
A. javanicum.—A large-leaved, prettily-marked kind, not 
unlike A. Lowii in habit and size; indeed, it is sometimes 
called a green form of that species. It differs, however, very 
markedly in having thinner, longer leaves, and in colour. 
‘In good examples the leaves of A. javanicum are 4in. long 
by 2hin. broad, suddenly narrowed at both ends; the 
colour is apple-green, with numerous transverse veins of 
silvery grey; the under surface is tinted with rose. Native 
of Java. Syns. A. Vettchit, Argyrorchis javanica, Macodes 
javanica. 
Botanical Magazine, t. 7037. 
A. Lowii.—The largest and one of the most beautiful 
of all Ancectochili. When well managed it grows 6in. or 
more high, with a crowded rosette of leaves, 4in. long by 
gin. wide, their texture being thick and succulent. The 
ground-colour of the upper surface is dark, velvet-green, 
shaded with brown, and beautifully lined and veined with 
pale gold. The under surface is pale yellow, tinged with 
rose. Native of Borneo. Syn. Dossinta marmorata.
