 was first flowered by and named in honour of W. E, Brymer,

 inches in diameter, golden yellow, with ovate lanceolate sepals, 

 linear oblong petals, and a triangular cordate Hp, the middle 

 lobe of which is greenish yellow beautifully fringed with a 

 long beard-like appendage of dichotomously-branched flexuose 

 ciliolate processes, and the short broad lateral lobes are deep 

 orange with a shorter fringe. — Burmah.

D. canaliculatum, B. Br. — A pretty Orchid of easy culture, 

 and bearing sweet-scented flowers. It has short pear-shaped 

 stems resembling pseudobulbs ; these bear a few narrow 

 acute fleshy leaves, and from the side of the stem near the 

 apex a peduncle or scape, which is slender, rigid, erect, about 

 a foot high, terminating in a raceme of a dozen or more 

 curious but not showy flowers, the narrow sepals and petals 

 of which are white tipped with yellow, and the wedge-shaped 

 lip deep mauve on its disk, white at the margins, and bearing 

 along the centre three keel-like elevated veins, which terminate 

 on the semiovate apiculate front lobe in crenulated plates. It 

 is a very singular and desirable small-flowered species. —
