of that species. Its colours are, moreover, very different, 
for its petals and sepals are regularly and neatly banded with 
red on,a white ground, instead of being of one uniform rosy 
tint. 
Fig. 1 represents the appearance of the column and lip seen 
from the front; in this instance, the lower tier of tubercles 
belonging to the lip-crest, are too much in relief. It. also 
shews that the column is not absolutely without wings, as we 
first supposed, but really possesses two very small ones. 
It requires to be potted in turfy heath-mould mixed with 
potsherds. Being a free growing species, both an ample 
supply of water and a moist atmosphere are necessary during 
summer; and although the species is less liable to become 
scorched by the sun than many others, still it should be 
shaded in sunny weather, in order to keep the temperature 
as near 80° by day as possible, without admitting much air. 
In winter, if a moist atmosphere is kept up, very little water 
will be required at the roots, nor need the temperature be 
raised above 64° by fire heat.
