This superb plant is a native of Brazil, 

 where it was first discovered and sent home 

 by Mr. Svvainson. It requires the stove, 

 and usually flowers in the latter part of 

 summer. It will now and then admit of 

 separation, although it multiplies but 

 slowly. The soil should be sandy peat, 

 with moss and a good proportion of small 

 fragments of broken pots. Great care is 

 requisite to keep the wood-lice from it, as 



without this precaution these destructive 

 vermin will absolutely destroy it.
