three very vigorous stems, the largest being nearly a foot long, and 
about 3 ^ inches in circumference. It bore five long racemes of 
blooms—in fact the plant was almost smothered in wreaths and 
of green, and barred with reddish chocolate. The lip is very 
narrow and clawed, the narrow tubular column curving upwards 
below it, and expanding towards the tip. The flower is both 
flowers, and produced a beautiful effect. Fig. 14 represents one of 
the racemes. The flower, as will be seen by a reference to the 
engraving, has narrow sepals and petals, creamy white with tinges 
pleasing and peculiar, and in anything approaching the condition 
of Mr. Mann’s remarkable specimen the plant would be undeniably 
effective.
