Introduced, in J 790, by Sir Brooke Boothby, from the 

 Island of Jamaica, where it is parasitic in the woods ; thriving 

 very well, like the last, in our stoves.

Introduced in 1802, by E. I. A. Woodford, Esq. in 

 whose stove at Vauxhall, it flowered the following June ; and 

 a few years after, when removed to his villa, near Rickmans- 

 worth, it ripened fruit. This is, I understand, rather more dif- 

 ficult to cultivate than the others, requiring a constant smart 

 damp heat, but no water at all.

For this singular species, the labellum of which resembles 

 a little pitcher, we are also indebted to E. A. I. Woodford, 

 Esq. who received it from Ceylon in 1806. It flowered soon 

 after its arrival, and may be propagated by cuttings.

In the Botanist's Repository, it is asserted, that I have con- 

 founded this species with the Epidendrum Vanilla of Lin- 

 njeus* It was discovered by Father Plumier, in the Island 



• That late excellent botanist, Mr. Jackson, who had the care of Mr. 

 Lambeet's herbarium, was so hurt upon seeing the paragraph, that he called 

 immediately to assure me he was not the author of it.
