 and a half inch broad, of a dark velvety olive-green ground colour, with blotches 

 of a lighter green and faint golden reticulation, the under surface pinkish. 

 The flower scape is a span high, bearing a spike of small pink flowers. — Java.

 in this plant, which in Ceylon is called Wana Eajah, equivalent to King of the 

 Woods. It grows four inches high, and 'has roundish ovate leaves two inches 

 long, and an inch and a half broad. The surface is of a beautiful velvety 

 bronzy green, veined in regular lines, and covered with a network of gold. 

 There are several varieties of this charming plant, all of which are free growers.
