is pendent, the flowers much crowded upon the stem, and, as before stated, measuring 
an inch or an inch-and-a-half across; these are thick and waxy in texture, but we 
could not perceive any perfume arising from them. As the flowers of many Orchids are 
odoriferous at various times in the day and night, we can only say that at no time 
when we tried the plant did we perceive any odour. The plant is very free- 
flowering, and the bloom lasts a long time in perfection. It should be grown in 
small hanging earthenware pans, which should be well drained and hung up near 
the roof-glass, in order to let the plant have as much light and air as_ possible, 
but yet it must be shaded from the direct rays of the sun through the middle of 
the day. A little chopped sphagnum moss and sonie nodules of peat fibre and 
charcoal will be all that is necessary about its roots, but the plant must always be 
kept moist during the summer season by dusting with water from the syringe, a 
moist atmosphere, and by water to its roots; and in the winter by more careful 
attention to its wants. Under no circumstances should the plant be allowed to 
suffer through drought, and a warm part of the East Indian house suits it at all 
times.
