DENDROBIUM HARVEYANUM. 
THE beautiful Dendrobium Harveyanum, represented in our present 
illustration, is one of the rarest and most remarkable species in cultivation, 
‘and presents the unique feature of having the petals broadly fringed with 
branching filaments, much like those found upon the lip of D. Brymerianum. 
The lip, too, is fringed, but not to anything like the extent seen in the 
petals. The species is a native of Burma, and was introduced by the 
Liverpool Horticultural Co., and flowered for the first time in Europe in the 
‘collection of the late Enoch Harvey, Esq., of Aigburth, Liverpool, in 1883, 
when it was described by Reichenbach (Gard. Chron., 1883, xix., p. 624) as 
a very fine surprise, which recalled D. capillipes in habit, with a dash of

D. Brymerianum in the lip, and gloriously fringed petals, which at first 
made him think of some peloria, though the lip and column being normal 
suggested its being a good species, and such, indeed, it has proved. The 
pseudobulbs are fusiform in shape, and three to six inches long, and the 
leaves (partly shown in our figure) are half as long as the bulbs, or longer, 
for Reichenbach afterwards described them as six inches long. The 
racemes are short, and bear from three to eight flowers; the latter number 
we have seen in a specimen from Baron Schréder's collection, The colour 
of the flowers is very deep yellow, without any markings, and their shape 
is well shown in the above figure, It belongs to the section Holochrysa,
