DENDROBIUM. Z»d 



D. marginatum. — See Dendrobium xanthophlebium. 



D. marmoratum, Echb. f. — A very pretty species, allied to 

 D. transparcns. The sepals and petals are white, blotched 

 at the extremities with purple, and the ciliate lip is purple. — 

 Burniali. 



D. moniliforme, Swartz. — This is by no means an exhibition 

 plant, bat although it cannot lay claim to much beauty, its 

 flowers, which are pure white, with a few purple spots on the 

 lip, yield a delicious fragrance. The stems are fascicled, 

 terete, pendulous, about a foot long, with linear-lanceolate 

 bluntish leaves, which fall away and are succeeded by the 

 fragrant white flowers, which grow solitary or in pairs from 

 the upper nodes, and are about an inch and a half in dia- 

 meter. Being a native of Japan and the adjacent islands, it 

 will make a good addition to the cool house Orchids, and will 

 doubtless be ver}' useful for cutting for decoration. The 

 plant so long known in gardens as D. moniliforme was not 

 the one originally so called, and has now been named D. 

 Linawianum, — Japan.

 half inches across, of a creamy bufi" sufi'used with rose, the lip 

 slipper-shaped, pale yellow, darker at the base, and orna- 

 mented inside on each side with a large eye -like blotch of 

 deep blackish purple ; they are agreeably musk-scented. It 

 blossoms in May and June, and lasts about a week in a fresh 

 state. — India : Eastern Penmsula.

D. moschatum CUpreum, Echb. f. — A large-growing ever- 

 green plant, which has been cultivated under the name of D.

 laria, a synonym of D. moscliatum, under which all these 

 plants are sometimes included. It has stout pendulous stems,
