OcTOBER, 1903-| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 313 
DENDROBIUM HARVEYANUM. 
On page 305 we have given an illustration of the remarkable 
Chondrorhyncha Chestertoni, as an example of an Orchid having both the 
petals and lip fringed, and it may be interesting to figure the equally 
striking Dendrobium Harveyanum, for purposes of comparison. In this 
the petals are more deeply fringed than the lip, as may be seen from the 
illustration, which is reproduced from a photograph of a plant in the 
collection of the Rev. F. D. Horner, Lowfields, Kirkby Lonsdale. 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, i., p. 624). The 
author spoke of it as a very fine surprise, recalling 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 petals 
were normal. The flowers are deep yellow, without any markings, and are 
borne in racemes of three to eight. Its exact affinity is a little doubtful, 
but, all points considered, it may be placed near D. finibriatum. The 
fringes of the petals may be described as branching filaments, and their 
character may be made out by the aid of a lens, though it is still more 
obvious in the original photograph. It succeeds under the treatment given 
to other Burmese species, but is still rare in cultivation.
