CCELOGYNE MOOREANA., 
Tuis handsome Ccelogyne, for which Messrs. Sander & Sons received a 
First-Class Certificate at the R.H.S. meeting, held on December 11th last, 
proves to be the first really close ally to the well-known C. cristata that has 
yet appeared, and in its large pure white flowers, with numerous yellow 
hair-like appendages on the disc of the lip, the resemblance is remarkably 
close. But there are marked differences, for the new-comer has longer 
leaves and scapes, deciduous bracts, and smaller flowers. The leaves range 
from nine to sixteen inches long, and the scapes from eight to twelve 
inches, and bear several flowers. It is a native of Annam, where it was 
discovered by Mr. W. Micholitz, when collecting for Messrs. Sander. 
Whether it will always flower in the winter perhaps remains to be proved, 
but it promises to be a very handsome addition to the genus.

NOVELTIES. 
THE last part of the 1906 volume of the Kew Bulletin contains descriptions 
of the following novelties :— 
DENDROBIUM CONVOLUTUM, Rolfe.—A New Guinea species allied to D. 
chloropterum, Rchb. f. and S. Moore, and having light green flowers, and 
some brown markings, chiefly on the lip. Jt was introduced by Messrs. 
Sander & Sons, and flowered with them in November, 1898, and afterwards 
with Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart.—p. 375. 
C@LIA DENSIFLORA, Rolfe.—Allied to C. Baueriana, Lindl., but differ- 
ing in having a very short dense inflorescence. It flowered at the Royal 
Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, having been obtained from Messrs. John 
Cowan & Co., without record of its origin, but a dried inflorescence from 
Guatemala, Skinner, is believed to be identical. ‘The flowers are white, 
with a light yellow anther case.—p. 375. 
Oncrpium Cxaesu, Rolfe.—An ally of O. tenense, Rchb. f., recently 
introduced to cultivation by M. Fl. Claes, of Brussels. The inflorescence 
is described as 12 to 18 feet long, entangled and twisted round the branches 
of ashrub, and bearing numerous large flowers with chocolate-red sepals, 
the petals and lip carmine, tinged with violet, and the crest yellow.—p. 376. 
GOMESA SCANDENS, Rolfe.—Introduced from Brazil by M. Binot, in 
1902, and flowered at Kew in July of the following year. It has greenish 
yellow flowers, but differs from all others in its scandent habit and distant 
monophyllous pseudobulbs. —p. 376. 
TRIGONIDIUM SUBREPENS, Rolfe.—Allied to T. tenue, Lodd., but larger 
in all its parts, and having greenish yellow flowers lined with brown. It was 
introduced by Messrs. Sander, and afterwards by Messrs. Hugh Low & Co.
