THIS striking Epidendrum species has remarkable colored flowers that are 
fragrant and long lasting. There are two species which differ only slightly in the 
coloring of the trilobed labellum. Both varieties of this specie have chocolate brown 
or mouse gray sepals and petals edged with delicate green. The trilobed labellum 
of the variety ‘‘Roseum”’ is a rose color and the middle !obe is lined with a lighter 
rose. The trilobed labellum of the variety “Randit” varies in color from light rose 
to white, the middle lobe being lined with a rose-purple. The flowering season 
extends from March into May and the flowers will keep at least 6 weeks normally. 
As these are collected plants it is impossible to tell which variety we can supply 
but we know you will be pleased with either type. 
The plants should be planted in brown wooly osmunda fibre with plenty of 
broken crock for drainage. Do not overpot when repotting as this species likes to 
be crowded so the roots will extend over the edge. This will help to avoid getting 
the osmunda soggy with heavy watering and avoid rotting off new growths. This 
specie likes plenty of water and a light airy place with as much light as possible. 
Hang it near the glass in winter and outdoors under slats or a partially shaded 
position outdoors if possible in the summer. It is recommended to water twice daily 
throughout the growing season of May to December, and once daily throughout the 
months of January to April. Temperature requirements are not difficult as these 
plants are not sensitive. Keep from freezing and they tolerate high temperatures 
during the day. An ideal orchid for the amateur—a-handsome plant—rugged con- 
struction—easily grown—very artistic and long lasting.
