ANGULOA. 
THE Anguloas are large, stately plants, with the habit of

being likened to a bull’s head. All the species are massive 
rather than graceful, and they owe their popularity to size,

Culture.—These plants are easily grown, thriving in a 
greenhouse temperature all the year round. Pots or deep 
pans are most suitable for them, and these should be large 
enough to allow of a liberal allowance of soil, with plenty 
of drainage. They like abundance of water when growing, 
and when at rest they should not be allowed to get dry.

pseudo-bulb, and the flowers develop along with it. When 
growth commences, it goes on rapidly, the large, handsome 
foliage unfolding almost as vigorously as leeks. The 
flowers last about a fortnight or three weeks, and
