D. JENKINSII, Wallieh. — A beautiful dwarf evergreen species with clustered 

 oblong tetragonal pseudobulbs, each bearing at the top a solitary oblong coria- 

 ceous retuse leaf, the whole not exceeding 2 or 3 inches in height. The flowers 

 are very large for the size of the plant, and last ten days in beauty ; they grow 

 on slender peduncles, solitary or geminate, from the side of the pseudobulbs, and 

 are wholly deep yellow, the lip being very large and spreading, reniform retuse, 

 slightly pubescent and ciliate, and measuring nearly an inch across. This species 

 is best grown on a bare block of wood, suspended from the roof. A magnificent 

 specimen of it was exhibited at South Kensington by Mr. Denning, when gar- 

 dener to Lord Londesborough. — India : Assam.
