First detected by Sir J. D. Hooker in 1849 on the Sikkim 

 Himalayas, at 5^000 — 8,000 feet elevation, and shortly afterwards by 

 the same eminent botanist in company with Dr. Thomson on the 

 Khasia Hills. It was not introduced till 1876, when it was 

 imported by Mr. William Bull, of Chelsea. Goelogyne corymbosa is very 

 near G. ocellata, from which it may be distinguished by its 

 differently shaped pseudo-bulbs, and its fewer flowered racemes of 

 larger flowers with a longer and more acute lip ; it flowers in 

 the spring months, when its delicate and fragrant blossoms are 

 among the most attractive objects in the orchid house. 



C cristata. 



Pseudo-bulbs ovoid-oblong, obscurely angulate, 1^ — 2 inches long, produced 



from a scaly rhizome at intervals of 1 — 2 inches. Leaves linear-lanceolate, 



acute, 8 — 12 inches long. Racemes drooping, as long as, or longer than the 



leaves, 5 — 9 flowered. Flowers among the largest in the genus, on whitish 



pedicels sheathed by reddish brown acute bracts, pure white except the 



orange-yellow disk and lamellae of the lip ; sepals and petals similar and 



equal, lanceolate-oblong, acute, much midulated ; lip oval, three-lobed, the 



side lobes incurved, roundish oblong, the intermediate one spreading, 



transversely oval with the front margin denticulate. Column winged.
