leaves are of a deep rich green. It requires great heat and moisture while in 

 a growing state, and a season of rest after flowering. The root should be 

 shaded from the sun, or the plant will be above 3 ft. high. (JBot. Beg., Feb. ; 

 and Paxt. Mag. of Bot., June.)

This plant Dr. Lindley at first supposed to be a Coelogyne, and as such he 

 published it in the Miscellany of the Bot. Beg. for 1841 ; but he now finds it 

 to be a distinct genus. It was found growing upon trees in the Cliirra district 

 of the Khoseea hills, and requires the usual treatment of East India epiphytes.

" Under the name of Oneidium Cebollata many very different species exist 

 in our gardens, among which the finest is that now figured, which, although it 

 has the foliage of that species, is really very different, forming dense panicles, 

 3 ft. long, of very large and showy yellow and brown flowers. Its leaves are 

 often 3 ft. long, and hang down or spread upon the ground, instead of standing 

 stiff and erect." (Bot. Beg., Jan.)

This singular species has olive-green sepals and petals, spotted with brown ; 

 but the lip is white, stained in the middle with orange spotted with crimson. 

 " The high temperature and excessive moisture which suit so well the Indian 

 dendrobiums are most injurious to this cattleya. A night temperature of 55° 

 in winter and 60° in summer is quite high enough for it ; and, by planting it in 

 well drained turfy peat, and keeping it rather dry when not growing, it will be 

 found one of the easiest to manage. (Bot. Beg., Jan.)
