Fig. 1. is a magnified view of an entire flower; 2. shows 

 the base of the corolla, the glands which crown its orifice, and 

 the lip with a tubercle at its base, the calyx being removed. 



It is one of the very neatest of little greenhouse perennials, 

 and requires a light sandy soil, composed principally of peat, 

 with only a small portion of loam. It must be kept in winter on 

 the shelf of a cool greenhouse, where there is plenty of light 

 and air, in small pots, and rather dry ; but it should be sup- 

 plied with abundance of moisture during the summer. It is 

 easily increased from seeds.
