One of the easiest of all stove Orchideous plants to 

 cultivate, growing upon a damp wall, or a rough stone, or 

 under almost any kind of condition, provided the air be hot 

 and damp, and uniform. It then flowers profusely at 

 intervals throughout the whole year. Our drawing was 

 made in the noble collection of the Messrs. Loddijres in 

 January last. 



A native of Sierra Leonie, whence great quantities are 

 occasionally brought. It appears to be extremely common 

 upon the trunks of trees in some parts of that colony.
