Miltonia vexillaria. —This species and its hybrids needs very careful 
treatment in the matter of root watering during the winter. If the plants 
are kept in too warm and humid an atmosphere, the growth made will be soft 
and flimsy, and prove disappointing when the flowering season comes 
round. A suitable position can usually be found for such plants at the cool 
end of the Cattleya or intermediate house, staging them well up to the light. 
In their present stage moisture at the root must be cautiously afforded, as 
only sufficient is necessary to keep the pseudo-bulbs from shrivelling, and 
the foliage healthy.—H. G. Alexander.
