Au£Tust, 191,15.1 THE ORC 
Angrecum Koischyi. 
LISTROSTACHYS BROWNII. 
This pretty little Uganda Orchid was first 
discovered about six years ago in the forests 
on the shores of the Victoria Nyanza. It 
grows in dense shade. The growths are 
about eight inches long and bear closely 
packed fleshy leaves. The pure white flowers 
are freely produced and deliciously scented. 
The photograph shows the plant exactly 
half-size.

Listrostachys Brownii. 
LISTROSTACHYS FIMBRIATA. 
This plant is really a giant epiphyte. 
Pieces of it are often seen m Uganda 
weighing over 60 lbs. Its peculiar growths 
often hang down a length of ten feet. The 
leaves are two feet long and very thick and 
leathery. 
Flowers are freely produced in racemes 
two feet long. They are small and pure 
white in colour. A fine plant of this Orchid 
bearing hundreds of its feathery racemes is a 
very beautiful sight. 
It appears to flourish m only fairly open 
situations, and is never seen in dense forests. 
I know of a leafless tree in Entebbe covered 
with hundreds of plants of this Orchid which 
flower profusely every year.
