September, 1921.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
ORCHIDS IN JAPAN. 
(Continued from page 36.; 
D ENDROBIUM AMCENUM, Lindl.—Imported from Formosa in 1916. 
Flowers about two inches in diameter, white, strongly scented, 
resembling that of violets ; they are produced from the nodes and clustered 
two—four in number, keeping very long in perfection. The flowering 
season is rather variable with me, sometimes in November and December, 
or March and April, but chiefly between May and July. 
Dendrobium crumenatum, Swartz.—Imported from Formosa in 1916. 
I have only one plant, and it is of the dwarf-habited kind. Flowers are 
white, with five raised yellow keels on the lip, and sweet scented; about 
five are produced on a terminal spike. It flowered with me for the first 
time on August 6th, 1919. 
Dendrobium gracicaulis, Hayat.—Imported from Formosa in 1916. 
The flowers, which are produced from the nodes, are very much like those 
of D. chrysotoxum, being yellow and scented. Flowers in August. 
Dendrobium Loddigesii, Rolfe.—Imported from Formosa in 1916. 
I found it very difficult to grow, and have no more of it left. Flowered in 
June with me. 
Dendrobium macrophyllum, Richd.—Imported from the Caroline 
Islands soon after the occupation in 1914. Flowers six in number on a 
terminal spike. Generally flowers with me in October. 
D. moniliforme, Swartz.—Found on islands near the south-western 
part of Japan, as well as on the southern coast of the mainland, and 
Kyushu, etc. Flowers produced from the nodes, and scented. Some are 
nearly white, some purple tinted. Blooms in summer. 
Dendrobium nobile var. formosana. —Imported from Formosa in 
1916. It resembles D. nobile in many respects, but inferior in everyway. 
Flowers with me between February and August, chiefly in March and April. 
Dendrobium tos^ense. —From the southern part of Kyushu and 
Shikoku. Stems about i£ feet, slender and semi-pendulous. Flowers 
from the nodes of stems of one and two years old. Six to twelve blooms, 
about one inch in diameter, dull yellow with six crimson stripes on the lip. 
Flowers in July with me. 
Dendrobium undulatum.— From the Caroline Islands. Stems about 
three feet in length and very stout. Flowers in July and August with me. 
Eria luchuensis, Yatabe.—From Luchu island. Cool-house Orchid. 
Stems about eight inches. Spikes pendulous, about six inches, flowers 
•densely carried, white, lip with reddish-brown spots. Flowers with me 
between July and September.
