New Guinea by David Burke, then collecting 
for Messrs. Veitch. 
CCELOGYNE DayaNA. — Imported from 
Borneo through Curtis, and dedicated by 
Reichenbach to Mr. John Day, of Totten- 
ham. It flowered for the first time in this 
country at Chelsea in 1884. 
CCELOGYNE VeITCHII. — A very distinct 
species, introduced from Western New 
Guinea through David Burke. The pure 
white flowers are produced in racemes. 
CycNOCHES PENTADACTYLON. — Intro- 
duced from Rio de Janeiro to Exeter through 
William Lobb in 1841. It first flowered in 
March, 1842, from which Dr. Lindley 
described the species. 
CyMBIDIUM GRANDIFLORUM. — Introduced 
CO Exeter through Thomas Lobb, the first 
plant flowering in 1866 at Chelsea. Reichen- 
bach at once described it and named it m 
honour of Sir Joseph Hooker. The plant 
had, however, previously been named by 
Griffith, who originally discovered it. 
Cymbiuium Huttonii. — A rare and 
remarkable species sent from Java by Henry 
Hutton, in commemoration of whose labours 
and early death it was named. 
CyMBIDIUM WilsONII. — Introduced from 
the province of Yunnan, South China, through 
E. H. Wilson, 1901, and first flowered at 
Chelsea, February, 1904. 
CypripEDIUM BARBATUM. — Discovered 
by Gumming in 1840 on Mount Ophir, near 
Malacca, in the Malay Peninsula, and sent 
by him to Messrs. Loddiges, of Hackney, with 
whom it first flowered. Thomas Lobb 
collected it three years later in the same 
locality, and from his importation the plant 
became generally distributed. 
CYPRIPEDIUM CAUDATUM. — Although 
previously known to science, this species 
remained unknown to horticulture until 
introduced by William Lobb in 1847 from 
Peru, where thirty years afterwards it was 
collected by Davis, who at the same time 
sent the variety Wallisii. 
CYPRIPEDIUM CURTISII. — Discovered in 
Sumatra in 1882, and introduced by Curtis, 
whose name it bears. 
CYPRIPEDIUM JAVANICU M. — First 
discovered by the Dutch botanist Rcinwardt 
on the mountains of Eastern Java, in 1826, 
though not introduced to European gardens 
until 1840, when Thomas Lobb sent plants 
to Exeter. 
CYPRIPEDIUM LaWRENCEANUM. — Dis - 
covered by F. W. Burbidge, in 1878, in North 
Borneo, at an altitude of 1,000-1,500 feet. 
Dedicated to Sir Trevor Lawrence. 
CYPRIPEDIUM NIVEUM.— The first appear- 
ance of this species came as a surprise. In 
1868, Messrs. Veitch received from Moul- 
mein a consignment of plants of a Cypri- 
pedium supposed to be C. concolor, but 
which, on flowering in the spring of the 
following year, proved to be the beautiful 
C. niveum. 
CYPRIPEDIUM PHILIPPINENSE.— This 
species, discovered by the late J. G. Veitch 
m the Philippine Islands, and sent by him 
to Chelsea in 1861, bloomed for the first time 
in March, 1865. It was found established 
on the roots of Vanda Batemanni, to obtain 
which was the object of the voyage, and for 
which the traveller long sought in vain ; but 
once happily running the boat ashore in a 
bay of a small island, he was delighted and 
astonished to find the neighbouring rocks 
covered with the plant of which he was in 
quest. 
CYPRIPEDIUM SUPERBIENS.— It is generally 
believed that only two plants of this species 
have ever been introduced, and all now 
growing in Orchid collections have been 
derived from the originals. Messrs. Rollison 
introduced the first plant from Java or 
Assam, and sold it in 1855 to Consul Schiller, 
of Hamburg. The second plant appeared in 
an importation of Cypripedium barbatum, 
collected m 1857 by Thomas Lobb on Mount 
Ophir, near the southern extremity of the 
Malay Peninsula. 
CYPRIPEDIUM TONSUM.— Discovered in 
the mountains of Sumatra by Curtis, who 
collected it, mixed with Cypripedium Curtisii. 
The specific name tonsum refers to the 
absence of black marginal hairs that fringe 
the petals of closely allied species. 
CYPRIPEDIUM VILLOSUM.— First discovered 
by Thomas Lobb on the mountains near
