nothing more than A. crispuni, a native of CourtalKmi, a 

 small valley near the southern point of the Peninsula of India. 



It is certainly one of the finest of its race, and worthy of 

 a place in all collections of merit. Very few discrepancies 

 are found between it and the published character of A. cris- 

 pum, and they are only such as are usual when plants are 

 described from dried specimens.

In cultivation it requires a hot and damp stove. When 

 suspended upon a block of wood, or in a copper wire basket, 

 from the rafters, it will grow luxuriantly with very little care, 

 provided it is well supplied with water. If there is a cistern 

 in the house it ought to be hung above it, as it evidently likes 

 the moisture which is continually evaporating from such a 

 l)lace. When not in a growing state less water should be 

 given than at other times, but it should never be kept too dry.
