D. GriffltMamim, Lindley. — One of the most glorious of 

 the yellow spring-flowering Dendrobes. It has erect clavate 

 stems, quadrangular on the upper part, and bearing at the 

 top a pair of lanceolate-oblong obtuse leaves. The flowers 

 grow in loose drooping flexuose many-flowered racemes from 

 the side of the stem ; the petals are ciliolate, and the lip ovate, 

 pubescent, and denticulate. The plant resembles D. densi- 

 jiorum, and its immense drooping spikes of blooms are of the 

 richest golden j^ellow, and remain in perfection for about a 

 fortnight. It is very rare, and varieties are often sold for it 

 which are much inferior to the typical form. — Burmah. 



D. GrUibertii, Linden. — A fine showy Dendrobe, resembling 

 a strong-growing D. densifiorum, and possibly a variety of 

 that species. It has clavate stems a foot high, bearing at top 

 a few broad ovate leaves, from amongst which appear the 

 dense drooping racemes, fourteen inches long, of yellow 

 flowers, which have a rich golden yellow lip, marked around 

 the mouth of the funnel-shaped base with a stain of deep 

 orange. It has been named in honour of the late M. Guibert, 

 of Paris. — Supposed to be Indian.

D, HanMryamiin. — See Dendrobium lituiflorum. 



D. Haryeyanum, Rchb. f. — A very curious and distinct 

 species in the way of D. Brymerianum, but with smaller 

 flowers. The stems are fusiform, furrowed, six inches long, 

 and bear the lateral racemes of four or five flowers near 

 the top. The colour of the flowers is deep chrome yellow, 

 with a pair of orange-coloured blotches on the lip ; the sepals 

 are lanceolate acute, the petals oblong acute, ornamented with 

 a dense marginal fringe, and the lip is almost circular, with 

 an obscure basal callus, a rough surface, and a distinct fringe 

 at the margin. It was introduced by the Liverpool Horticul- 

 tural Company, and named after E. Harvey, Esq., of Aigburth, 

 Liverpool, by whom it was first flowered. — Burmah. 



D. hedyosmum. — See Dendrobium scabrilingue.
