the rare and striking Arachnanthe Cathcartii is bearing a good spike, also 
Ione scariosa and I. grandiflora, the latter a strong plant with three

clavate appendages on the margins of the sepals. The rose-coloured 
Phaius mishmiensis is bearing a good spike, other novelties being Tricho- 
centrum Cornucopiz, Octadesmia serratifolia, Bulbophyllum mirum, 
Zygopetalum Murrayanum, Cirrhopetalum  retusiusculum, Ccelogyne 
Micholitzii and C. triplicatula, Promenza Rollissoni, and Calanthe densi- 
flora, with numerous other more familiar but very interesting plants.
