LIST OF ORCHIDEiE. 
201 
The raceme rising from the joint in the middle of the bulb, and 
producing from twelve to eighteen flowers of a pale yellow, 
with a darker orange-yellow blotch in the labellum. Ihis re¬ 
quires hanging in a basket, and the same treatment and tem¬ 
perature as the last. — Native of India. 
96. Dendrobium pulchellum. — A beautiful plant with bul¬ 
bous stems, transparent, from four to nine inches long. Leaves 
alternate. Flowers rising in twos and threes from the joints of 
the stems ; sepals, white, tipped with yellowish-green ; the petals 
are delicately marked with rose colour, and the labellum beau¬ 
tifully fringed and blotched with bright orange-red in the centre. 
This species will do either on a block of wood or in a basket; 
but, in either case, it should be well syringed morning and night 
while growing. The same temperature will do for this as for 
the others. — Native of Sylhet. 
97. Dendrobium pulchellum var. purpureum. This species is 
but a mere variety of the last; its growth is stronger, and the 
flowers are of a purplish colour. It also requires the same 
treatment and temperature as the last. — Native of Rajabassa. 
98. Dendrobium denudans. A small plant with bulbous 
stems, one foot long, and slender. Leaves alternate. Flowers 
in clusters from the joints, of a white colour. It requires to 
be placed on a log of wood, with a little moss fastened round 
it, and water given it freely when growing. Also in a tem¬ 
perature of 70°. — Native of India. 
99. Dendrobium discolor. A plant with tall bulbous stems, 
from two to four feet long, swollen near the base. Leaves 
alternate, tapering rather sharply to the apex. This species is 
not one of the most showy-flowered plants. It is known also 
as D. undulatum. It requires pot culture, and rather a higher 
temperature during its growth, with a liberal supply of water. 
— Native of Java. 
100. - Dendrobium Gibsonianum. A plant with tall, slender, 
bulbous stems, nearly two feet long. Leaves alternate, and 
rather long and narrow. Flowers produced from a short ra¬ 
ceme ; of a yellow colour, with a stain of blood colour in the 
labellum. This plant also requires hanging; and during its 
growth it should have a high temperature, and a more sparing 
supply of water than in most cases, as it is a shy-growing 
species.— Native of India. 
101. Dendrobium longicorne. (Derived from its being 
horned.) Plant with bulbous stems nearly one foot long, and 
covered with small brown hairs. Its leaves are alternate, and
