This plant has been already mentioned in our Vol. for 1840, p. 595. It is 

 remarkable for the deep colour of its flowers, which are extremely beautiful. 

 It is difficult to cultivate on accoimt of the scantiness of its roots ; as, unless 

 it is very securely fastened to the log which supports it, it is liable to fall oif 

 and be broken. This species is always grown on logs of wood, on account of 

 the defectiveness of its roots, wliich would soon become decayed in a pot.

 the umbel which is formed by them. Each flower represents a kind of face

 The lower part of the flower and the beard are in continual motion, and a
