speakinf2; of the cultivation, Dr. Lindley observes :
" In order to cultivate this plant successfully, it
should be suspended upon a block of wood from
the rafters of the stove, and its thick fleshy roots
allowed to hang in the air, and imbibe its moisture.
A damp atmosphere, syringing its roots and leaves
freely when in a growing state, and shade during
bright sunshine, are the principal requisites in its
cultivation. In other respects it may receive the
&ame treatment as the rest of this tribe." Bot. Reg.
