the column are clear yellow, spotted with crimson. The 
flowers grow in an erect raceme, longer than the leaves. 
Fig. 1. is a magnified view of the column and base of the 
lip, shewing the wings of the former, and the peculiar nature 
of the tubercles that form the crest of the latter. 
It should be grown in turfy heath-mould, mixed with pot- 
sherds. The pot in which it is grown should be well drained, 
and the soil considerably elevated above its brim. During 
the summer months when a humid atmosphere is necessary 
an ample supply of water should be given, and the house _ 
shaded in sunny weather, which will regulate the temperature 
without admitting much air. In winter, while the plant is 
in a state of rest, and the temperature kept about 60° or 65° 
by fire heat, little water will be required for a few weeks; 
but as soon as it begins to grow it should be repotted and 
the heat and moisture gradually increased,
