I am indebted to the late G. A. Skinner for this plant, which 
he received from Guatemala. It succeeds and flowers freely 
when grown in the cool part of the Mexican house. It should 
be well raised above the level of the pot, to prevent the buds 
from rotting, which they are apt to do. It requires plenty of 
drainage, and not to be over-watered when growing.—W. W. S.
