Ccelogyne, Lindley. From koilos, hollow, and 

 gym, a female ; in allusion to the form of the 

 stigma. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orehidaceai. 

 The species of this genus are all very hand- 

 some when in flower, and therefore deserve to 

 be in every collection of orchideous plants. 

 Some of the species having been introduced 

 only a short time, they are therefore rather 

 rare in collections. They should be grown in 

 a hot damp heat, and otherwise treated as the 

 Stanhdpea. Synonymes: 1, ' Olielonanthera spe-
