Ccelofryne lentiginosa, Lindl. Fol. Orch. Ccelog. No, 4 (1854). Bot. Mag. t. 5958. 

 Rchb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. XXX. p. 146. 



First introduced by us from MoulrQein, in 1847^ through Thomas 

 Lobb_, and occasionally imported since from the same locality. Dr. Lindley 

 described the species from dried flosvers only, and from their resem- 

 blance to those of Cnelogyne jiaccida naturally placed it in the same 

 section^ i.e., Flaccid^, in which the racemes are pendulous ; the 

 peduncles are, however, erect, so that it belongs to the section 

 EEECTiE. Two forms are known distinguished by colour only ; that 

 described above, which we have assumed to be the type and which 

 has straw-yellow sepals and petals and a bright orange blotch on 

 the lip, and that figured in the Botanical Magazine, which has green 

 sepals and petals, and is inferior in beauty to the other form. 



0. Massangeana. 



Pseudo-bulbs sub-pyriform, angulate, 3 — 5 inches long. Leaves stalked, 

 elliptic-lanceolate, variable in size, the largest 15 — 20 inches lono-, and

Coelogyne Dayana.

 diameter; sepals and petals light buff'-yellow, the former lanceolate-oblong, 

 acute, keeled behind, the latter linear-oblong ; lip broadly oval in outline, 

 cordate at the base, three-lobed, the side lobes erect, whitish externally,
