This delicate plant is a native of Deme- 

 rara, growing on trees. We have had it 

 several years, but it was not strong enough 

 to bloom till March last. In cultivation 

 the flower stem has been tied up to a stick, 

 but we have no doubt its true mode of 

 growth in the natural situation is hanging 

 down, which is far more elegant. 



It continued in flower nearly two months, 

 and has a delicious fragrance. We have 

 preserved it of course constantly in the 

 stove, in a pot with vegetable earth and 

 pieces of broken pot, but have not yet been 

 able to increase it.
