stand. It is a rare plant and, always excepting Saccolabimn 

 giganteum, the slowest grower of its tribe. My plant, which 

 is about four inches high, has at length begun to branch, 

 and, as the branches all flower freely, my specimen has 

 already become an attractive object; — in our grandchildren's 

 days it will be quite charming ! It flowers freely during the 

 summer months in the East India house. Its introducer, 

 both to Kew and to Clapton, was the Rev. Mr. Parish, who 

 no doubt met with it in Moulmeyne. — J. Bateman.
