I have read in the February number of your esteemed magazine under the heading " Orchid Queries," "J. R.," New Bedford, Mass., asking : "Would like to know most easy way to get a stock of Anthurium Warroqueanum, and the easiest mode of propagating it".

Anthurium Warroqueanum, like the beautiful Anthurium Veitchii, grows in the interior of the Republic of Columbia, S. A., in warm, damp valleys, on the trunks of trees. They have never been largely exported, as they are difficult to obtain, because they grow in the dense forest, inhabited only by Indians, and the places where they grow are known but to few collectors. The propagation of A. Warroqueanum by division, I believe, is an exceedingly slow process, and with the A. Veitchii even very difficult. The best plan to get a stock of them is to import them from their native country.
