HORTUS VEITCHII 



CCELOGYNE DAYANA, Bchb. f. 



Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1884, vol. xxi. p. 826 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. vi. p. 37 ; 



Orchid Album, t. 247. 



Imported from Borneo through Curtis, and dedicated by Prof. Keichen- 

 bach, at our request, to Mr. John Day, of Tottenham. 



It flowered for the first time in this country at Chelsea in 1884. 



As a species it resembles Coelogyne Massangeana in its long pendulous 

 racemes, but in the colour of the flowers and more especially in the 

 vegetative organs is abundantly distinct. 



CCELOGYNE FLAVIDA, Hook. f. 



Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. vi. p. 39. 



Discovered by Thomas Lobb on the Khasia Hills, and afterwards by 

 Cathcart on the Sikkim Himalayas. 



Closely allied to Ccelogyne barbata and C. elata, it is inferior in a 

 horticultural sense to both these species.

vol. ii. t. 39. 



Introduced through Thomas Lobb, who sent plants from the Khasia 

 Hills, Northern India, to Exeter in 1849, and always a great favourite 

 with orchid amateurs on account of its beautiful flowers, freely produced 

 in October and November. 



CCELOGYNE LENTIGINOSA, Lindl. 



Bot. Mag. t. 5958; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. vi. p. 43.

 Moulmein. 



There are two forms, that figured in the Botanical Magazine above 

 quoted being inferior in the beauty of its flowers. It has been imported 

 at various times from the same locality.
