ALTHOUGH so many of the Stauroglottis section of Phalznopsis are f 
in the islands, there are some that are found on the mainland, and oth 
both on the mainland and in the various islands along the coast. 
I may particularly mention Phalzenopsis violacea, which is supposed 
be confined to Sumatra, in which locality it is known to vary very much 
colour. It is, however, found in Perak, on the mainland, and the va 
there found is very distinct from the Sumatran plant, béing of a uni

Although growing under so many different conditions, the: flowers do 
vary in the same way as the other kinds. The largest and finest ph 
I ever saw were growing in great masses on the trunks of the | 
mango trees, in dense shade, in which position they flower very freely,

Phalenopsis Lowii is found growing in the low-lying country about
