EPIDENDRUM VERRUCOSUM. 
Class. Order, 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This isa native of the Island of Jamaica : 
we received itin 1825, and it flowered in 
the month of December. It was first de- 
scribed by Swartz, who says that it grows 
on the trunks of trees. The leaf stems are 
about a foot in height, covered with small 
dark coloured worts, and the scape, which 
is somewhat branched, is six or eight inches 
long: the flowers, as usual in this family, 
continue a great while. : 
It requires the stove, and succeeds in a 
soil composed of moss, saw dust, and sand, 
the surface covered with moss in a growing 
state.
