The coloring is odd with the frequent combination of white and yellow, while the outside of the petals, sepals, and lip is white.

Phaius crosses readily with Calanthe.

An intermediate house serves.

(Listing and descriptions of species of this genus may be found on page 120.

) The genus Calanthe is terrestrial, infrequently epiphytic, sympodial, evergreen, and sometimes deciduous.

Having large, wide, gracefully drooping leaves of shimmering texture and artistic grooving, it is much used in England for table decoration.

The pseudobulbs are large, heavy, and of light olive-green, and the flowers grow in sprays and are delicately colored, though coarser in texture than most orchids.

An intermediate or cool house will serve.

^ Coelogyne is a pseudobulbous, evergreen, sympodial epiphyte.

It varies considerably with the species, the bulbs of C. cristate being short, plump, and well-rounded, while those of C. Pan-durata are flattened, compressed, and distichous.

The flowers are oddly attractive and of crisp texture, growing freely
