This is a pretty variety of a well-known terrestrial Orchid, differing from the typical form of the 
plant only in its foliage, which is elegantly and unequally striped with bands of golden yellow. It 
thus forms a very ornamental addition to a collection of Orchids, even when not in blossom.

One of the finest of Orchids, producing very freely, on branched spikes, the most lovely mauve 
and white flowers, and having very ornamental variegated foliage. 
These most lovely Orchids bloom so profusely that, if all the flowers they produce were allowed to 
remain, they would bloom themselves to death. They are very beautiful, and exceedingly useful for 
bouquets, and are well adapted for suspended baskets ; they should be protected from drip and 
require plenty of water whilst growing.
