and another species recently introduced, were
originally discovered by the gentleman to
whom the genus is dedicated. S. marginata
is at present supposed to be rather difficult of
culture. It will not grow so as to flower if
kept in a pot, but thrives perfectly well when
attached to a piece of wood, with a little moss
on its roots. It must be kept in a hot, moist
part of the house. ''In its native state, its
flower-stalk is frequently four feet high,
branching, and covered with flowers. During
the dry season, it will bear intense heat without
injury." Synonyme: 1, Epidéndrmntihicìnis.

may be increased by young cuttings, planted
in sand, under a glass, in heat, or by separating
the tubers of the roots.
