LÆLIA ANCEPS AT HOME. 
prrs my long residence in Mexico I have 
many a time found plants of Lælia anceps 
growing in my Coffee plantation in the neigh- 
bourhood of Cordova in the State of Vera Cruz. 
the virgin forests, gro on the trunks of 
rees and on the very vem branches exposed 
to a powerful sun and to strong winds, often also 
clinging to the rocks ed with the remains 
of leaves "e moss ss under the same conditions, 
During the rainy season—from May to October 
arrive at their perfect development. The rainy 
season has been over some weeks, and the 
absence of em combined with the strong 
winds, commences to produce an opposite effect ; 
growth stops, the newest bulbs beco: Ў 
ripened so as to prepare the amp for а iini 
and necessary rest. About the end ebruary, 
falls almost like a fog. These young roots 
eagerly seek the neighbouring débris ж! товв, 
in their tips are always in the air. The chipi- 
; does not saturate the plants as it is too weak, 
id hardly able to refresh them : thus the plants 
rest, getting plenty of repose until the new roots, 
nourished by the continually increasing dew, have.
