175 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JUNE, 1903. 
We have selected the entire plant for reproduction, as it forms a charming 
little picture, besides showing the habit. The seven-flowered inflorescence 
is the upper right hand one, and the single photograph only shows the 
flowers of larger size. It is certainly an example of excellent culture, and 
we should be glad to know whether any special treatment was given beyond 
that usually adopted in America.
