This is probably pendent from the branches of trees on which 
it is an epiphyte: assuredly the leaves, often more than a foot 
long, are drooping. The umbel or cymes are quite candelabri- 
form, and the upper side at the apex of each pedicel is hollowed 
out into a cup or socket, as it were to receive the flower. It is, 
perhaps, the most striking species of this very extensive genus.
