among our finest Oivhids; they are general favorites, 
and we ai-e glad to find that they are beginning to bo 
extensively cultivated in this country. The pseudo- 
bulbs are, in many cases, elongated and thickened, and 
' the dark massive evergreen foliage render the plants 
peculiarly attractive. The flowers are all large and 
elegant, and can scarcelj' be surpassed for their spark- 
ling richness and depth of color, the most frequent 
tints of which are violet, rose, crimson, magenta, white, 
yellow, mauve and purple, with their intermediate 
shades. The flower scape, which is enclosed in a 
sheath, issues from the top of the stem, and a single 
spike sometimes contains as man.v as from ten to twent.\ 
I flowers. They can be easily grown in baskets or pots, 
with a compost of fibrous peat and moss with good drain- 
age and a liberal svqipl.v of moisture when growing ; the.v 
should always be shaded from the direct rays of the sun.
