C(ELOGYNE corrugata. WigJd, Icon. t. 1639. Lindl. Fol. Orck. 



Although a very accurate representation of this pretty Coelogyne appeared fifteen 

 years ago in Dr. Wight's ' Icones/ it never, so far as I am aware, took its place among 

 our living collections before the year 1863, when some specimens were received from 

 India by the Royal Gardens at Kew. It is found, according to Dr. Wight, near Court- 

 urn, Tulney Mountains (Neilgherries), where it flowers in August and September, 

 also grows wild in Khasya, according to Lobb. The figure is taken from a specimen 

 that flowered at Knypersley in the summer of 1866. like many other Coelogjjnes, it 

 ^vill not thrive in the East Indian house, but is quite at home in the coolest part of the 

 Cattleya house. It should be grown in a pot. 



The wrinkled pseudobulbs, which unfortunately are not so well 



It 



rendered on the 



opposite page as in Dr. Wight's plate, are almost peculiar to the species. 



Descr. Pseudohulbs in tufts, ovate, very much (reticulately) wrinkled, two-leavcd 



es about a span long, oblong, subacuminate, rather longer than the racemes 



Racemes three- to six-flowered. Bracts boat-shaped, oblong. Sepals and petals neail% 



qual, oblong, acute, pure white. Up three-lobed, lateral lobes smaller and bluntei 



Lea 



than the central, which 



on 



the disk are three raised parallel long 



tudinal lines ; the limb of the lip is yellow in the inside, marked with orange streak-
