My friend Mr. W. Marshall kindly supplied me with this 
beautiful Stanhopea. Its native country I do not know. Like 
most of the Stanhopeas, it flowers freely placed in a damp shady 
cool stove and grown in a basket packed with sphagnum and peat. 
When at rest the plant should have but little water.—W. W. S.
