A very interesting and curious Orchid, producing its flowers 
very freely. My specimens were sent to me from Guatemala by 
the late Mr. G. U. Skinner. The plant will thrive on a block of 
wood or cork with a little moss, and grown in the temperature of 
the Mexican house. During the season of rest it must be kept 
moderately dry.— W. W. 8.
