atmosphere kept as moist as possible. This, like many other 

 Orchidaceous plants, requires to be shaded in sunny weather, 

 to prevent the leaves from being scorched, as well as to keep 

 the temperature about 85" by day, without admitting much 

 air. In winter a humid atmosphere is necessary, but for a 

 few weeks water should only be given to prevent the plant 

 from shriveling.
