A native of Jamaica : it has been long 

 known in this country, and first flowered 

 at the late Mrs. Barrington's, in compli- 

 ment to whom it received its specific name 

 from Sir James Smith. 



After several years cultivation, in March 

 1832 it produced a single flower. It re- 

 quires the greatest heat of the stove, and 

 will increase by offsets : the soil should be 

 chieBy moss, with fragments of broken 

 pot, and plenty of water, and if possible 

 the wood lice should be kept from it, as 

 they are exceedingly destructive to the 

 whole of this beautiful class of plants.
