Introduced from the Khasia Hills in 1849 by Thomas Lobb, who sent 

 plants to Exeter. In 1852 it was sent from Assam to the Eoyal Gardens, 

 Kew, by Simons, and from this plant was made the figure which appears

CCELOGYNE PELTASTES, Rchb. f. 



Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1880, vol. xiv. p. 296 ; Lindenia, vi. t. 258. 



Introduced from Borneo, this remarkable Coelogyne has peculiar pseudo- 

 bulbs, produced at different levels on the rhizome ; these are somewhat 

 crescent-shaped, flattish, convex on one side and concave on the other, 

 closely pressed against the surface over which they grow, forming 

 reservoirs for water. 



CCELOGYNE (PLEIONE) POGONIOIDES, Bolfe. 



Rolfe in Kew Bulletin, 1896, p. 196 ; Orchid Review, 1903, vol. xi. p. 291. 



Introduced from the province of Hupeh, Central China, through Wilson, 

 and cultivated at Chelsea, but not flowered at the present date. 



The bulbs are used by the Chinese as a drug, under the name of 

 "Pei-mu." 



It is closely allied to Coelogyne (Pleione) humilis, which it resembles in 

 the flowering stage when the leaves are partly developed.
