Coelogyne candoonensis Ames sp. nov. Radices 
(ibralae. Rhizoma validum, plus minusve rcpens. Pseudo- 
bulbi in serie, approximati, anguste ampullacei, usque ad 
apicem altenuati, diphylli, in rhizomate crasso repenti 
congesti. Folia anguste elliptico-lanceolala, acuta, subtns 
prominenter quinquenervia, in petiolum sensim contracta. 
Pedunculus terminalis, folium multo superans, basi nudus, 
infra racemum valde bialatus, rachide fractillcxa. Bracteae 
inflorescentiae ovarium pedicellatum superantes, deciduae. 
Sepala lateralia oblonga, basi valde concava, sensim acuta. 
Sepalum dorsale simile sed valde concavum. Petala lincari- 
triangularia, acuta, trinervia. Labellum conspicuc tri- 
lobatum; lobis lateralibus superne dilatatis, apice leviter 
emarginatis; lobo medio cuneato-obovato, abrupte tri- 
angulari-acnto, supra medium minute glanduloso. Discus 
callo alte sulcato ornatus. Columna valde arcuata, apicem 
versus alata, ala inconspicue imdulata. 
Roots 2 mm. in diameter, smooth. Rhizome 8~10 mm. 
thick, bearing the approximate pseudobulbs in linear series. 
Pseudobulbs 8-12 cm. long when mature, very slender, up 
to 1.5 cm. thick near the base, tapering gradually to the 
summit, diphyllous. Leaves 24 cm. long, up to 3.6 cm. 
wide above the middle, narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, acute, 
prominently 5-nerved beneath, contracted into a short 
sulcate petiole. Peduncle terminal, arising between the 
leaves, with the raceme 30 cm. long more or less, conspicu¬ 
ously bialate below the inflorescence, with the rachis con¬ 
spicuously llexuose, elongating during anthesis. Bracts of 
the inllorescencc deciduous, glumaceous, about 3 cm. long, 
yellowish, those at the tip of the elongating rachis closely 
imbricating. Pedicels 8-10 mm. long including the ovary. 
Lateral sepals about 1.4 cm. long, 4 mm. wide, oblong, 
acute, concave at the base. Dorsal sepal similar, about 
1.5 cm. long, concave, arching forward over the column. 
Petals 13 mm. long, about 2 mm. wide near the base, linear- 
triangular, acute, tapering gradually to the tip, 3-nerved. 
Labellum conspicuously 3-lobed, 11.5 mm. long; lateral 
lobes 5 mm. long from tip to sinus formed with the middle 
lobe, 5 mm. wide at the tip, inner margin protuberant, apex
