This elegant white Prrcarrnta was found amongst the 
matted roots of some parasites and rock plants, imported 
from the neighbourhood of Rio Janeiro, having been sent 
unheeded by the collector. It encreases by suckers, and 
flowers freely, Our specimen flowered at Spofforth, in 
Septémber, where other stems were also produced in 
November. It is cultivated in the stove, in peat, and re- 
quires but a small pot, as it grows naturally in moss and 
small patches of vegetable earth upon trees and rocks, 
Plants of this Pitcairnia may be seen at Mr. Tare’s Nur- 
sery. W.H.
