 for many years quite uninjured in the Iloyal Gardens, Ivew. In the open air it 

 appears not to flower, but it flowers abundantly in the temperate house. In the

 leaves than the common holly, the flowers are produced in round heads of a pale 

 yellow-green colour, and the berries are vermilion red.

 less epiphyte, producing tults of four or five cuneate-oblong leaves, which are a 

 foot long. The flowers are produced at the base of the leaves, sepals and petals 

 nearly equal, an inch and a-half long, nearly round, straw colour, lip yellow, 

 puckered, bearing at the foot of its disk a thick rufl' composed of numerous folds.

 between them. The leaves are blackish olive green, with elegant crescentic mark-
