This is an epiphyte, with the foliage and habit of a small 

 Bamboo and the flowers of a Cattleya. It is a native of the 

 hotter parts of India, especially of Assam and the Burmese 

 territories. Roxburgh speaks of the blossoms as numerous, 

 large, rosy, with the lip of a lively red purple and very beau-

 four, or even five feet high. It is certainly a charming plant. 

 It has lately flowered with Messrs. Loddiges. Its natural station 

 is said to be well-shaded places, on the face of moist rocks.

 are produced into long tapering points. They are yellowish 

 green, bordered with brownish red. The lip is pale yellow,

 cultivate it on a piece of dry wood in their Cactus house.
