This is an epiphyte, with the foliage and habit of a small 
Bamboo and the flowers of a Cattleya. It is a native of the 
hotter parts of India, especially of Assam and the Burmese 
territories. Roxburgh speaks of the blossoms as numerous,

four, or even five feet high. It is certainly a charming plant. 
It has lately flowered with Messrs, Loddiges. Its natural station

green, bordered with brownish red. The lip is pale yellow,

cultivate it on a piece of dry wood in their Cactus house.
