We received this curious little plant from 

 Mr. Deppe, who collected it at Xalapa, in 

 New Spain, in 1828. It appears to grow 



w 



upon trees : the leaves are not more than 

 two or three inches' in length, and the 

 flower stalk, which is pendulous, is three 



^ 



or four times their length : we preserved it 

 very well in the stove, and it flovvered in 



March. 



It should be planted in vegetable earth, 

 with a little moss and sand, and may some- 

 times be increased by offsets, although 

 in general plants of this family do not love 

 to be often disturbed.
