1840. Salzmanii, a German collector, originally met with it 

 in sandy thickets near Bahia ; and I find it among Marti us* 

 plants from the same province, marked ' ' high ground of the 

 Serra de Sincora, and on rocks near Villa Rica, in the pro- 

 vince of Mines, growing four to five feet high." 



It ought to be grown in the Orchidaceous house or moist 

 stove. The pots should be well drained ; this is very simply 

 done by inverting a small pot in a larger one, and also allows 

 the heat to rise readily to the roots. It grows well in brown 

 turfy peat, and requires a liberal supply of water during the 

 growing season. Its general treatment may be much the same 

 as that of E. elono;atum. 



Although unwilling to recognize a genus in these Amphi- 

 glottia, they certainly form a most natural group. The fol- 

 lowing is a list of such as I am acquainted with.
