to the memory of Father Incarville, is therefore altogether erroneous. The plant 
above referred to was flowered in 1817 by John Walker, Esq., of Arnos Grove, 
Southgate. 
Phajus grandifolius is an evergreen terrestrial Orchid with largish ovate pseudo- 
bulbs, and oblong-lanceolate plicate leaves. The flowers, which measure as much as 
four inches across, are borne on radical scapes three feet and upwards in height ; 
the oblong-lanceolate sepals and petals are white on the outer surface and of a 
pleasing chocolate-brown on the inner side, while the lip, the base of which is 
folded over the column, is white stained with yellow in the throat and disk, and 
veined with crimson, the sides of the convoluted part being also stained with 
crimson within and without. 
Phajus grandifolius should be cultivated in a pot, in a compost of good fibrous 
loam, leaf-mould and decayed cow manure, with a little sand added. This plant, if 
allowed plenty of pot room, will obtain large dimensions, while moderate applications 
of liquid manure will be found especially beneficial, ensuring not only vigorous 
growths but also beautiful healthy foliage, thereby greatly increasing its ornamental 
value. It should be grown in either the Cattleya or East India house, as_ it 
requires an abundance of heat and moisture during the growing period, but care 
should be taken not to touch the young growths. When at rest a cooler 
atmosphere will suffice. This plant is subject to the attacks of the scale and 
thrips, which may be kept in check by steaming tobacco juice in the Thanatophore. 
It is propagated by division when the blooming season is past.
