randum now before me as a flower of exquisite beauty. It 

 however hardly deserves so much praise, because, notwith- 

 standing its rich marking and velvety surface, its flowers are 

 too small and dull coloured. 



The specimen now figured flowered with Messrs. Rollissons 

 in March last. 



It succeeds well when grown at the warmest and dampest 

 end of the Orchidaceous stove, and may be fastened on a 

 block of wood, or placed in a basket and suspended from the 

 rafters. In either case it ought to be well supplied with 

 water. A quantity of bog moss put round the block or in 

 the basket will be found very useful in keeping the plant in a 

 vigorous and healthy state. Its general treatment should be 

 the same as is given to such things as Aerides and Sacco- 

 labiums.
