 Synonyme : Epid^ndrum amabile hinn. Sp. PI., 1351. ; Angrie^cum album m&jus Rumph. Herb, 

 Amboin.,6. p. 99. t.43. 



A very rare and beautiful epiphyte, which flowered for the 

 first time in Europe in the Tooting Nursery, in July, 1838. 

 *' The curious form of the flowers, the graceful way in which 

 they hang down from below the leaves, their large size, and the 

 brilliant whiteness of their broad leathery petals, give this species 

 a most striking and uncommon appearance." It grows in Am- 

 boyna, on short thick trees covered with moss, hanging down in 

 entangled tufts. It succeeds best when fixed to pieces of decay- 

 ing wood, along with a little turf or moss, and suspended from 

 the roof. Not. sending out shoots freely, it is probably rather 

 difficult to propagate. \Boivlieg.,i\i^j.) - -
