 comete: eburneum has long been popular in gardens, on account 
of its beautiful, white and fragrant flowers. It was_ originally 
described and figured, in 1847, by Lindley (Bot. Reg., xxxiii. t. 67), from a

Hills, being met with at Myrung, at about 5000 feet elevation. Griffith, 
indeed, called it C. syringodorum (Notul , iii., p. 338). in allusion to ifs 
iac-scented lowers. It has since been found at a lower elevation i 
Sikkim, and also occurs in Nepal. 
For a good many years it remained rare 
in gardens, 
but became common. when additional importations were 
received. As regards colour, it is unique in the genus, though the rather 
short penduncles fail to carry the flowers clear af the foliage, which 1s 
rather a drawback. It is seen to best advantage when grown on into good 
Specimens. It has yielded several fine hybrids, but there is room fot 
improvement so far as its own particular colour is concerned.
