up, with the same treatment and temperature as recommended 
for most others.— Native of India. 
102. Dendrobium crumenatum. A tall, slender plant with 
bulbous stems, much swollen near the base, in resemblance 
a pseudo-bulb. Its leaves are placed alternately above the 
swollen part. Flowers a pure white, finely scented, produced 
from the joints of the upper part of the stem, in twos and 
threes, and lasting but seldom above one day. It will do in a 
pot, but succeeds best on a log of wood in an inclined position, 
as it is often found growing in its native country in that way. 
It requires the same treatment and temperature as most others. 
— Native of Manilla. 
103. Dendrobium Devonianum. A most beautiful slender 
plant, with bulbous stems, nearly one foot long. Leaves alter¬ 
nate. Flowers produced on a short raceme; sepals and petals 
white, tipped with purple at the apex; labellum large and much 
expanded, white, with two large blotches of yellow on each 
side of the throat, fringed and stained at the apex with purple. 
This species should be hung up in a basket, as it is of a very 
tender growth, and carefully watered when wanted. — Native 
of India. 
104. Dendrobium alpestre. A beautiful little plant with bul¬ 
bous stems, three inches long, and nearly transparent. Leaves 
alternate. Flowers produced in a short spike from the summit 
of the stem, from five to nine in number, of a pale white, with 
the throat of the labellum finely marked with purple. This 
species should always be grown on a log of wood, with a little 
moss fastened round it, so that its roots may run into it, and 
be well watered when in its growing state. It requires a tem¬ 
perature of 70°. — Native of the Himalaya Mountains. \ 
105. Dendrobium macrostachyum. This species produces 
long, slender, drooping stems; its leaves are rather narrow and 
alternate, and its growth is much similar to that of D. cucul- 
latum. Flowers are produced in twos and threes, mostly the 
latter; the sepals and petals are a greenish white, and the 
labellum tinged with pink. It should be hung up, and it will 
grow with nearly any treatment, provided the temperature is 
the same as for most others. — Native of Ceylon. 
103. Dendrobium bicameratum. — Plant with slender bulbous 
stems ; leaves alternate ; growth much similar to that of D. 
stuposum. Flowers rising from a short spike from the joints of 
the stem, of a pale white. It requires hanging up, with the 
same treatment and temperature as the other dwarf-growing 
sorts. — I believe , a native of India.
