L. autumnalis, in order that the differences between the two 

 species may be the more readily perceived. 



The cultivation of this species, in so far as our knowledge 

 extends, is rather difficult. It probably proceeds from the 

 nearly uniform temperature of our stoves in this country, 

 differing so much from the temperature to which plants are 

 subjected, at considerable elevations in tropical regions. 



There are many plants which belong to this order, the 

 peculiar treatment of which is now perfectly understood, and 

 which consists in removing them from the stove, and placing 

 them in a cooler house for several months every season ; some 

 of the species of Bletia are examples of this. 



The present species should be cultivated in a cooler house 

 than is generally used for Orchidaceous plants, and subjected 

 to considerable variations of temperature by being at certain 

 seasons kept in the greenhouse.
