May, 1918] THE ORCHID REVIEW. rit 
Cympipiums.—As these plants pass out of flower, they may have 
attention as regards any necessary repotting. Being plants which resent 
root disturbance, they should not be repotted unless really necessary owing 
to the compost becoming sour and decomposed. The plants bloom more 
freely and produce finer flowers when the pots are well filled with roots. 
They require plenty of drainage, with a compost in which good yellow loam 
fibre predominates, with sufficient finely broken crocks added to keep the 
whole open. A shady position in a cool Intermediate house, with plenty of 
fresh air, answers their requirements, but they resent strong sunshine at all 
seasons. 3 
GENERAL REMARKS.—Once again, owing to circumstances over which 
we as horticulturists have no control, we shall miss what had become to 
many an annual reunion of kindred spirits. The big shows are in abeyance, 
and the younger generation are away, bravely and nobly upholding the 
country’s honour, but to them we may say, in the beautiful words of our 
loved Queen, “ Our pride in you is immeasurable, our hope unbounded, our 
trust absolute.” And while they are showing such devotion, may we, who 
are carrying on at home, be able to show that our good old profession has 
not stood still.

C@LOGYNE INTEGERRIMA, Ames.—This very distinct Philippine 
Ccelogyne has been for some time in cultivation, having been exhibited 
more than once by Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, and it has also 
flowered at Kew and Glasnevin. It was described in 1909 by Mr. Oakes 
Ames (Philipp. Journ. Sci., iv. p. 665) from materials collected by E. D. 
Merrill, at Mt. Pulog, in the Province of Benguet, N. Luzon, in the lower 
mossy forest, at some 2,000 metres elevation, the flowers being described as 
greenish yellow. Mr. Ames remarked: ‘‘ Coelogyne integerrima belongs to 
the section Carinate, and appears to be closely allied to C. cinnamomea 
from which it differs in its larger flowers and entire labellum. The leaves 
are much broader in relation to their length than those of C. cinnamomea. 
The labellum is entire, without lobes. The keels on the disc are smooth 
and extend from the base to the tip, the lateral ones being more prominent 
near the middle.” It was collected many years earlier by Loher in the 
Province of Benguet, the specimen being preserved at Kew, but it was not 
described. The flowers are borne in arching racemes of about eight to 
twelve, and the segments are about an inch long, and the colour light green 
with about four broad brown bands on the lip. We do not know when it 
Was introduced, but it was exhibited by Messrs. Sander at the Chelsea 
Show in 1913, as recorded at page 171 of our twenty-first volume. It is a 
very distinct species.—R.A.R. |
