﻿THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



Naga Hills, Assam, and southwards to Burmah. There is a beautiful albino 

 of the species, known as variety candidulum, which is extremely rare. 



Dendrobium Hildebrandii (fig. 26) is a comparatively recent addition to 

 the genus, being described in 1894 (Rolfe in AVa- Bull., 1894, p. 198). It 

 was discovered in the Shan States by H. H. Hildebrand, Esq., and sent to 

 Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., of Clapton, who flowered it early in 1894. 

 Owing to its twisted sepals and petals it bears a considerable resemblance 

 to D. tortile, which indeed represents its affinity, but the flowers are light 



whitish yellow instead of purple. One form, however, has a deeper yellow 

 throat to the lip, and a pair of maroon blotches at the base, this being 

 known as variety oculatum. It is a plant of very robust habit, and very 

 floriferous, and Mr. Hildebrand states that it grows in magnificent huge 

 masses, and that as many as fifteen hundred flowers have been counted on 

 a single clump. The species has been crossed with D. nobile, D. 

 Wardianum, and D. aureum, yielding three handsome hybrid.
