Cutr. This beautiful epiphytal Orchid, being a native of India, 
requires to be grown in the tropical division of the Orchideous 
house. With us it is suspended from the roof growing on a 
sod of solid sphagnum peat, and receiving the same kind of 
treatment as mentioned at Tas. 4418 and 4432. -In order to 
prolong the duration of this beautiful flower it should be re- 
moved to a cooler and dryer house, care being taken not to wet 
the flowers when syringeing or watering the plants. 7. 8.
