DENDROBIUM LASIOGLOSSUM. Native of Burma. 
An interesting species with slender, drooping, terete and sometimes branching 
stems with a few lanceolate acute persistent leaves. Racemes grow from the 
nodes opposite the leaves and produce two or three small medium sized flowers 
with white sepals and petals (the lateral sepals being longer than the dorsal or 
the petals) and a white squarish labellum with a hairy golden disk and red striped 
lateral lobes. Flowers in late Spring. A4. B2. C4. D2. E2. (ed) FS. 
DENDROBIUM LEEANUM. Native of New Guinea. 
A beautiful species with stems 3 feet or more in length, and slightly flattened. 
The leaves, which are few, are lanceolate-oblong, and pointed. Racemes are pro- 
duced from the upper parts oi .ue stems and each of these carries several large 
flowers. The sepals are ovate and pointed, tipped in the lower part with rose 
pink. The petals are lanceolate, narrow and slightly twisted. They are carmine 
in colour. The labellum is tubular at the base, but expansive and open in front, 
the apex being rounded. The throat is green, decorated with radiating lines of 
rose pink. The edge and the lower part is the same carmine colour as the petals.

DENDROBIUM LEUCOLOPHOTUM. Native of Sunda Isles. 
An attractive species with cylindrical, many leaved stems about 20 inches in 
length and inclined to be pendulous. Leaves are ligulate, pointed and thin, 
but stiff in texture. The foot-long racemes which bend under the weight of the 
blossoms spring from the nodes in the upper part of the stems and carry a number 
of flowers about an inch in diameter. The sepals and petals are pointed. The 
labellum has triangular side lobes while the centre lobe is ovate, comparatively 
large and pointed. Flowers are white, the side lobes of the lip being greenish 
tinted. Al. Bl. C1. D2. E1 (eb) F7. 
DENDROBIUM LINAWIANUM. Native of China. 
A handsome species with stout, club-shaped, prominently noded and deeply 
grooved stems reaching a length of 10 inches or more. Leaves are oblong and 
bilobed and up to 4 inches in length. The short racemes are produced from the 
lateral joints of the two-year old stems and carry two blooms. Flowers about 24 
inches across. The sepals and petals are oblong acute, the petals being half as wide 
again as the sepals. The labellum is shorter than the other segments, and is round- 
ish, reflexed and has the margins toothed. Sepals and petals are white at the 
base, and deep rose pink in the upper part, the apex being almost purple. The 
lip is white with a purplish apex and margins and a crimson spot on each side 
of the disk. Flowers late Autumn. A1. B3. C4. D4. El. (ea) F2.
