Nota. Planta anno 1850 v. paulo post in Europam introducta est et in horto Kewensi 

 et Hamburgi floruit, postea tarnen nunquam observata est. Memoriae dignum videtur, plantam 

 a Reichenbachio ob.servatam gynostemium habiiisse ab illo floris typici vix vel non diversum, 

 dum in planta Kewensi gynostemium quadridentatum observatum est, quod in fronte i. e. supra 

 foveam stigmaticam non rostello sed processu dentiformi praedita fuit; haec autem gynostemii 

 structura etiam observata est in I). normali et in illa Dendrobii forma insulae Norfolk quam 

 "lim gab nomine Thclychitcm descripsit St. Endlicher vir praestantissimus.

Nota. Planta a cl. Lindl. cum D. transparente Lindl. comparatur, a King et Pantling

Species Dendrobii imperfecte notae. 



D. Cobbianum Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron. (1881) IL 780. — »A living plant 

 kindly sent by the ürm of Hugh Low and Co. shows a great difference from the first 

 developed one I obtained. The inflorescence is far less zigzag, the sepals and petals 

 are milk-white with an aethereous hue of yellow. Lip finest dark yellow with a 

 cinnabar-orange blotch on its base. Column white. If we compare the fresh bulbs 

 grown in England with those of wild speeimens, then we may expect that the plant 

 will still improve very much.« 



Haec omnia sunt, quae de planta novimus.
