80 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [MarcH, 1916. 
\e| DENDROCHILUM GLUMACEUM VAR. VALIDUM. 
GOOD plant of this graceful Orchid was exhibited at the R.H.S. 
4 meeting held on February 8th, by Mr. H. Dixon, Wandsworth, and 
and as its identity was uncertain it may be interesting to give a figure. It 
differs from the original D. glumaceum in its much broader leaves, this being 
so marked a feature that it was at first cultivated under the name of D. 
latifolium, in spite of its very different flowers. It was described at p. 115 of 
Fig. 24. DENDROCHILUM GLUMACEUM VAR. VALIDUM. 
our first volume, from plants which flowered with MM. Peeters, Brussels, at 
Glasnevin, and with H. J. Hunter, Esq., Edinburgh, but it afterwards 
came out that it had been cultivated in the collection of O. O. Wrigley, 
Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, for some eight years, and it is this plant which 1s 
here reproduced from a photograph. It is a native of the Philippines, 
and differs from the type in its more robust habit and much broader leave? 
but the inflorescence and flowers are so similar that we cannot regard ' ai 
more than a variety. It is a very graceful plant, and of the easiest possible 
culture in a warm house.
