306 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
learnt how to grow these remarkable New Guinea species—and it may 
have been some misapprehensions under this head that led the Orchid 
Committee of the R.H.S. to give it only a Botanical Certificate on its 
first appearance, in spite of a beautiful raceme of six flowers. However, 
four years later it received a First-class Certificate, when exhibited by Sir 
F. Wigan, Clare Lawn, East Sheen, the plant bearing two racemes, one of 
them with eight flowers. The sepals and petals are primrose-yellow, with 
numerous dusky brown spots, and the lip inside deep violet-purple, with a 
few paler radiating lines near the margin, but outside green, with a large 
dark violet irregular blotch on either side. It should be grown with D. 
Phalenopsis and the other species from the same region. 
NOVELTIES. 
DENDROBIUM SANGUINEUM, Rolfe.—A very remarkable species, with 
crimson flowers, introduced from Labuan, North Borneo, by Messrs. Hugh 
Low & Co., with whom it has just flowered. It belongs to the section 
Clavipes, characterised by the pseudobulbs being swollen near the base. 
The stems are about three feet high, and the flowers are borne in the 
upper axils, but, unfortunately, do not last long. The colour is remarkable.

time Director of Public Gardens and Plantations, Jamaica. It belongs to 
the group Apode cespitose, and has straw-coloured flowers with red- 
purple nerves.—Kew Bulletin, 1895, p. 191. 
CG@LOGYNE CARINATA, Rolfe.—A New Guinea species, introduced by 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., with whom it flowered in June last. It is allied
