z10 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JuLy, 1911. 
4,000 to 5,000 feet, sometimes on rocks in full sun and sometimes on trees 
in partial shade. It was described by Reichenbach in 1889 (Gard. Chron., 
1889, i. p. 232). Its slender terete leaves give it a very distinct appearance, 
and its long graceful racemes of white flowers, with a rose-purple lip, 
render it very attractive. The species thrives under Intermediate house 
treatment, but, like other terete-leaved Orchids, should not be grown under ° 
too much shade. For the use of the block we are indebted to Messrs. 
Mansell & Hatcher, Rawdon, Yorks.
