This species was described by Dr. Lindley, when speaking of 

 Brasavola cordata, Bot. Reg. t. 1914., from a dried specimen in 

 the herbarium of Dr. Von Martius ; but it has since been im- 

 ported by Messrs. Loddiges from Berbice. It has a fringed 

 labellum, and is handsomer than most of the other species, though 

 it is still more curious than beautiful. It seems to delight in a 

 rough and stony soil, not too retentive of moisture ; and this is 

 readily imitated in pots, by mixing rough peat with broken 

 bricks or small stones. (Bot. Reg., Jan.)

This truly splendid plant has white flowers, with bright crim- 

 son bracteas and flower stems. The white flowers have a wax- 

 like appearance, like those of the flowers of the white camellias ; 

 and they are slightly tinged with green at their extremities. The 

 leaves resemble those of the bananas. " Although the growth 

 of the plants is slow, and they, therefore, occupy a valuable 

 place in the stove for many years before they flower, yet they 

 fully repay the cultivator's patience and care, by the great beauty 

 and long duration of their spikes of flowers." (Botanist, Jan.)

This is one of the handsomest species of a very extraordinary
