Orchidaceae. This is a very interesting little plant,

painted with transverse yellowish lines upon a 
rich brown purple ground. The plant is described 
as a native of Java and Ceylon, but his Grace the 
Duke of Devonshire’s collector found it on the 
Khoseea Hills, from whence he brought living 
plants in 1837, and which are thriving in great 
beauty in the orchideae house at Chatsworth. It 
requires the same treatment as the other East 
Indian terrestrial orchidaceae.
