ors acavus. 
ra korderik 
A native of the West India Islands, where 
it grows generally upon decayed and hollow 
trees. It was introduced in 1790, and is 
easily cultivated in the stove. The flowers 
are curious and not inelegant if they are 
minutely examined; they continue during 
a long time, and sometimes perfect thei 
seeds in this country. The leaves are 
of a firm, rigid consistence: they some- 
feet in length. The soil should be loam, 
and in order to have the plant in fine health 
and vigour, it should be kept in a large 
sized pot, and have a liberal allowance of 
water.
