HE Anoectochili, or Jewel Orchids, as they have sometimes been called, 
form a remarkable little group, which are grown entirely for the 
beauty of their foliage, which in the different species shows various shades 
of emerald, olive and bronzy green, beautifully reticulated with golden 
yellow, silvery, or copper-red veining. They belong to several well-marked 
genera, distinguished by differences in the structure of their flowers, which

are for the most part inconspicuous. The present species, blebs is a native 
of Java, is one of the most beautiful, and the leaves have been described 
as resembling light-coloured green velvet, enriched with well-defined netted 
lines and bands of a pale or yellowish hue, deepening to golden yellow and 
covering the whole surface. The species is very easily grown, in a shady 
position in the Warm house, the protection of a bell- glass raised a little 
above the edge of the pan to afford ventilation, helping to bare the 
necessary moist atmosphere.
