them to a due share of attention at our hands, while the delicious scent emitted by 
others, amongst which we may mention: JL. aromatica, L costata, L. cruenta, 
L. lanipes, increases this value considerably. Moreover they require but. little 
attention, and as their flowers last weeks in perfection in many cases, they amply 
repay any care bestowed upon them. 
Lycaste Smeeana should be grown in a pot, in a compost of good fibrous peat 
and spagnum moss, with a little charcoal added; or it may be grown in all peat. 
The cool house suits this species best.
