178 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (June, rors.! 
the collection of the Rev. John Clowes, Broughton Hall, Manchester, in | 
March, 1844, when it was described and figured by Lindley (Bot. Reg., xxx. | 
p. 66, t. 63). It succeeds well under Cool treatment, in a compost of turfy 
loam and peat, in well-drained pots, in fact under pretty much tlie treat- 
ment given to Lycaste Skinneri. The flowers come up with the young 
growths. It isa good exhibition plant, and several plants of it were shown 
at the recent Chelsea Show. The one here figured was grown at Kew. _
