WARSCEWICZELLA. 507 
Culture.—The treatment best suited to these plants is 
exactly the same as that recommended for Pescatoreas. 
Like them, the Warscewiczellas must never be allowed 
to get dry, and they must be kept in a moist, warm house 
all the year round. 
W. discolor.—A distinct and pretty species, not unlike 
W. marginata, but smaller and different in colour. ‘The 
leaves are about 8in. long, #in. wide, tapering to a point, 
the base channelled and jointed; scapes erect, shorter 
than the leaves, sheathed and noded, each bearing a 
solitary large flower 2}in. across; sepals white, oblong- 
lanceolate, spreading; petals shorter and broader, white, 
tinged with purple; lip large, folded laterally, forming a 
funnel tin. across the mouth, the apex reflexed; colour of 
lip purple, fading to white at the margin; disc large, 
plaited and toothed, white. This species was introduced 
at the same time as W. marginata, and flowered with 
Messrs. Jackson and Sons, Kingston, in 1853. It is a 
native of Costa Rica. Syn. Warrea discolor.

one-flowered, erect, 5in. long, with a sheathing bract at 
the’ base. Flower nodding, 23in. across; sepals narrow, 
straight, folded; petals broader and recurved; lip large, 
three-lobed, the lateral lobes folded over the column and 
forming a broad funnel, the front lobe spreading; disc large,
