from the rocks and trees as the regal king orchid (rock 
lily), the shell-pink orchid ( Dendrobium kingianum ), 
and several other Dendr obi unis, as well as some 
■of the lovely white-flowering Sarcochilus orchids. The most 
notable orchids from the lowlands were the big Phams

was the crimson spear lily (. Doryanthes palmeri ), several 
clusters of- which were sent by Mr. S. Crosby, from Mount
