B.M. 7093. G.C. III. 37:194.—This unusual plant was first discovered in 1839 by the brothers Schomburgk, and was rediscovered in 1881 by Burke, an English orchid-collector who brought plants to England. It is a rhizomatous plant, and is prop, by single crowns. The plant is described as growing well in small pots in a mixture of peat, sphagnum and sand, surfaced with sphagnum, the pot plunged to the rim in moss and kept under a bell-glass. It requires much moisture.
