D. Henshallii. — See Dendrobium teanspaeens. 

 D. heterocarpum. — See Dendrobium aureum. 



D. Heyneaniini, Lindley. — A charming deciduous species 

 furnished with erect clavate stems, six to eight inches high, 

 which bear linear-lanceolate leaves, and produce from their 

 upper part at different times of the year lateral racemes of 

 several small white flowers, that have somewhat the appear- 

 ance of sprigs of whitethorn ; the lip is greenish yellow 

 beautifully streaked with violet. It is best grown on a block, 

 with a moderate supply of moisture, during the growing 

 season. It continues about ten days in perfection. — India : 

 Western Peninsula.

D. Hillii, Hook. — A bold-habited and rather striking species, 

 nearly related to D. speciosum, but the stems, which are stout 

 terete and many-ribbed, are fully twice the length, surmounted 

 by four to six elliptic or oblong thick leathery dark green 

 leaves, and the terminal racemes of flowers are much longer 

 and more graceful. The long narrow sepals and petals are 

 naiTower and of a creamy white, while the small lip is trans- 

 versely blotched with purple. It is a free-flowering and 

 desirable species, and succeeds well in the cool house after 

 its growth is complete. — Queensland.

D. infundibulum, Lindley. — A species of the nigro-hirsute 

 section, of great beauty, distributed in the first place under 

 the name of D. moulmeinense, and resembling D, formosum in 

 habit of growth and in flower, but with more slender stems, 

 one and a half to two feet high, which are terete, with lance- 

 olate acute unequally bilobed leaves, and glorious flowers, which 

 sometimes measure four inches across, and, like those of its 

 allies, are remarkable for their very broad petals. The sepals 

 and petals are pure white, the serrulate lip white, having in 

 the throat of its funnel-shaped base a large blotch of deep 

 golden yellow. The flowers are produced in great profusion 

 from the top of the stems during the summer, and last five 

 to six weeks in perfection. It will be most useful for supply- 

 ing cut flowers for decorative purposes. — Moulmein.
