A curious and charming hybrid from Dendrobium aureum and D.

The plant has a habit nearly intermediate between that of the two 

 parents ; the flowers have the general outline of those of D. Wardianum, 

 the sepals and petals are white tipped with rose-purple, and the lip is 

 cream-white with an orange-coloured disc and an irregularly pencilled 

 crimson blotch.

 flowers, 3 in. in diameter, resemble those of D. aureum in shape. The 

 sepals and petals are ivory-white, the former narrowly margined with 

 light pink. The lip is light yellow, the front lobe and apex white.
