This is a native of Brazil, where it grows 
upon the trunks of trees, in the immense 
forests of that most interesting, and, as yet, 
little known country. It is very low in 
growth, not exceeding a few inches when 
in full bloom, which with us was in May 
and June. The flowers are beautifully con- 
structed, and marked with various colours, 
but require a magnifier to display their 
pleasing forms, being too small to have 
their various parts noticed by the naked 
eye. 
It is requisite to preserve the plant at all 
times in the stove. It succeeds pretty well 
potted in vegetable earth, and may now and 
then afford an offset, by way of increase.
