spreading, large, ovate /obes, the upper one notched, the rest 
entire and streaked and blotched with yellow. Stamens all ex- 
serted, especially the upper ones. Ovary very long, slender, its

Cutt. Belonging to a genus of East Indian plants charac- 
terized by a trailing, or somewhat scandent, epiphytal habit, and 
analogous to Nematanthus and Alloplectus of tropical America, 
this plant requires the same kind of treatment, and they may be 
properly associated with tropical Orchides. It is a trailing 
species, of neat habit, and may either be grown in a pot or 
basket suspended from the roof of the house, or placed on an 
elevated position formed of any convenient material, such as 
rude bricks or garden pottery, covered with sods of turfy peat. 
By introducing a few small-growing ferns, or Lycopodia, the 
whole will soon assume a natural appearance. During summer 
the plant requires to be freely supplied with water; and if 
placed in a position exposed to the midday sun, it should be 
shaded. In the winter months water must be sparingly 
given. J.S. 32.
