of the easiest of the genus to manage, and well repays the 

 cultivator for the trouble he bestows upon it. 



Why it is called crumenatum, (literally purse-shaped) I 

 am unable to state. Rumphius, with whom the name origi- 

 nated, gives no explanation ; but in one place he calls it A. 

 crumenatum, and in another Angrcecum angustis crumenis. 



Fig. 1. represents a side view of the labellum; 2. the 

 column, and 3. the pollen-masses. 



The species is easily multiplied by taking side shoots from 

 the old plant ; sometimes young shoots will grow from the 

 stem instead of flowers ; these, if taken off carefully and laid 

 upon warm damp moss, will, in a short time, make excellent 

 plants. Its cultivation is simple. It belongs to that class of 

 plants which have a period of growth and a period of rest. 

 All that is requisite, is the temperature of the stove, and a 

 plentiful supply of water during the growing season. When 

 this season is past, the plant should be removed to a cooler 

 house, or at least to the coolest part of the house, and kept 

 perfectly dry, when its wood will harden, it will lose its 

 leaves, and form its flower-buds. It may afterwards be 

 brought into the warmest part of the stove, when the result 

 will be a profusion of flowers.
