phyllum.” In November, 1899, it received an Award of Merit from the 
R.H.S., when exhibited by Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., and in a record 
(Gard. Chron., 1899, ii. p. 367) we find the note that it is often called 
Bulbophyllum Coelogyne in gardens. It belongs to Lindley’s genus 
Sarcopodium, whose history has already been given, with an enumeration 
of the species (O.R., xviii. pp. 237-240), and is nearly allied to the 
Himalayan S. amplum, Lindl., differing in having considerably larger 
flowers. The species, now known as Sarcopodium Ceelogyne, Rolfe, is 
rather rare in cultivation.—R.A.R.
