42 ORCHIBACEJE 



The specimen in question was given to me by Mr. Sander, and 

 remained among the unnamed mserendce of my herbarium for 

 four years. The only data with the specimen were as follows: 

 " Dendrob. sp. Flowers creamy yellow, lip with a greenish orange 

 blotch. There are two varieties; one has purple veins on the 

 flower. Micholitz." On the same scrap of paper with these re- 

 marks is written in a different hand and with blacker ink, " Germ. 

 New Guinea." Unable with material at hand to identify the spe- 

 cies, I sent it to the Royal Gardens, Kew, where it was described 

 by Mr. R. A. Rolfe, and returned with the manuscript description 

 which was published June 9, 1904. The accompanying plate was 

 prepared from the type, and is a faithful restoration.
