DENDROBIUM CANALICULATUM. Native of North Queensland. 
A small flowered but rather interesting species from North Queensland. The 
stems are short, being swollen at the base into a pseudobulb, and are topped with 
from three to five rigid, fleshy, sharply pointed and deeply channelled leaves. 
The racemes are produced from the axils of the leaves on the young bulbs and 
from the side nodes on the upper part of the stems on the older bulbs, the same 
bulbs flowering for some years in succession. The scapes are produced two or 
more from each stem, giving the plant a handsome appearance when in full 
bloom. The scapes grow to about a maximum of a foot in length and are occa- 
sionally branched. They carry numerous smallish and attractive but not very 
spectacular flowers. The sepals and petals are narrow and pointed and about } 
inch long. They are whitish (sometimes cream) tipped with yellow (sometimes 
brown). The labellum is cuneiform and purplish-brown in colour, with white 
margins and three prominent veins running lengthwise towards the apex. Flowers 
in late Spring. Seems to do best in open sunshine in warmer parts—otherwise 
glasshouse. Al. B1. Cl. D1. E4 or 5, 3 or 1 (ea) F7. 
DENDROBIUM CAPILLIPES. Native of Burma. 
A small growing variety with stout, erect, and somewhat knobbly stems up to 
about 6 inches in height, crowned with 3 or 4 broad and rather stiff leaves. The 
racemes are short and carry from 2-4 round, bright golden yellow flowers about 
14 to 2 inches in width. Al. Bl. Cl. D1. E4, 5 or 1 (ed) F4. 
DENDROBIUM CARRI. Native of North Queensland. 
A recently discovered species, interesting as being located by and named after 
Mr. T. Carr, of Julatten, North Queensland, one of the members of the Queens- 
land Orchid Society. Growing from a creeping rhizome, the stems are conical 
in shape, about an inch in height, much grooved, and tipped by a single oblong 
leaf slightly notched at the apex and about 34-4 inches long by 3 inch in width. 
The scapes grow from the apex of the newly developed bulbs, and carry 5 or 6 
small white flowers, the sepals and petals being lanceolate and acute, and somewhat 
connivent. Actually it may be described as a white species of Dend. mono- 
phyllum. The stems are rather more widely spaced along the rhizome than is the 
case with D. monophyllum. Whereas the latter is quite fragrant, 1 was unable 
to detect any scent from the only plant of D. Carri I have seen. AS. B2. C2. 
D1. E3 (ea) F13. 
DENDROBIUM CARINIFERUM. Native of Burma. 
A pretty species of a hardy nature. Stems 8-12 inches tall, or sometimes rather 
longer, terete and slightly grooved. Leaves are persistent, about 24 inches by 
% inch wide, dark green, glossy and notched, and rather leathery in texture. 
Flowers are produced in bunches of from two to four from the year-old and 
older bulbs—appearing sometimes from the axils of the leaves at the apex of the 
stem, and sometimes from the nodes of the older stems. Sepals and petals white
