rison informs us, that he received it from Mr. Cattley, who 

 knew nothing of its history. It has been many years in 

 the country, and is in almost every collection ; but it never 

 flowered before. Generally the plants one sees are so weak 

 as to resemble the very different East Indian species called 

 Liparis longipes ; and the history of Mr. Harrison's having 

 at last succeeded in flowering it, is no doubt his superior 

 mode of cultivation. The leaf we received with the speci- 

 men was near two feet long ; and the panicle itself fully 

 three feet from one extremity to the other. 



We think 



one of the most interesting species 



have yet figured ; for it is not only handsome, singular, and 



frag 



but its flowers are very durable, remaining 



perfection for at least a fortnight
