This species, which was grown at Kew in 1800, and has been long lost, 

 appears to have been lately reintroduced. Dr. Lindley, noticing the difficulty 

 of growing Cape Orchidese, recommends giving them a complete season of 

 rest, by withholding water when they are not in a growing state, and also when 

 they are in flower, at which season they should have abundance of light and 

 heat. {Bot. Reg., March.)

A pretty epiphyte, a native of the East Indies, which formed part of the 

 collection brought by Mr. Gibson to Chatsworth in 1837. It belongs to the 

 section Vdndece, and requires a warm moist atmosphere, in which it is grown 

 on a rough block of wood, with the bases of its roots protected with moss.

This very beautiful plant was found by M. Hartweg in Mexico, and sent 

 by him to the Horticultural Society, where it is found to require exactly the 

 same treatment as a Tigridia. (Bot. Reg., March.)

Art. VIII. Remarks on floxnering the Renanthera coccinea. 

 By J. Webster. 



The treatment held forth by different authors, and the system 

 generally adopted, to throw this beautiful orchidaceous plant 

 into flower, is to place the plant near the glass, and withhold 

 watering it until its stem becomes shriveled, and the whole plant 

 assumes a withered unhealthy appearance, and then to resort 

 to its former mode of cultivation ; when the vital parts again 

 become excited, the sap flows to the extremity of its stems, the 

 foliage again puts forth, but, in many instances, neither a flower 

 stem or a lateral shoot appears, to the great disappointment of 

 the cultivator. 



The following is the system which I have resorted to, and from 

 which I have obtained the successful result of throwing it into^flower 

 with the plant in a full state of luxuriance. Having it growing upon
