Cuxr. This, like the rest of the numerous species of Bolbo- 
phyllum, is a tropical epiphyte, and requires to be kept in the 
warm division of the Orchid-house. It grows and flowers 
freely on a block of wood, suspended from the roof of the 
house, and having a piece of Sphagnum-moss attached. In 
winter an excess of moisture, either in the atmosphere of the 
house or in the moss or block of wood, is prejudicial ; 
and in summer the plant must be shaded from the mid- 
day sun.
