which soon wither up, and leave nothing but a stain to indi-

The best and most natural way to cultivate it, is to hang 

 it from the roof of the stove, and allow its roots to imbibe the 

 moisture of the atmosphere. This is one of those orchidaceous 

 plants which will succeed in a lower temperature than that 

 which most of them are grown in, but like the others it requires 

 a moist atmosphere and shade. It must be kept perfectly 

 dry when in a state of rest, but should be freely watered and 

 syringed when growing.
