which soon wither up, and leave nothing but a stain to indi- 
cate their having been present. 
The best and most natural way to cultivate it, is to hang 
it from the roof of the stove, and allow its roots to imbibe the 
moisture of the atmosphere. This is one of those orchidaceous 
plants which will succeed in a lower temperature than that 
which most of them are grown in, but like the others it requires 
a moist atmosphere and shade. It must be kept perfectly 
dry when in a state of rest, but should be freely watered and 
syringed when growing.
