This lovely Orchid, with the allied forms, are best grown in the cool Odonto- 
glossum house suspended from the roof, so that they may obtain all the light 
possible. They are small-growing plants, and will thrive either in baskets or small 
pans with a little light material about their roots, such as good fibrous peat, with 
all the fine earthy parts shaken out; they will also succeed in good live sphagnum 
moss, but must have perfect drainage, so that no stagnant moisture can collect 
remain about their roots. The material should be kept moist during their grow 
season, hut when at rest less will be required, though at all times they must 
kept moist, and shaded from the burning sun. This splendid variety is imported 
sparingly among the good-sized masses of O. Cervantesii, which are often received 
from its native country, where they are found on the stems and_ branches 
trees.
