ARACHNANTHE The Arachnanthes are closely allied to the Vandas, and needsimilar general treatment to that found successful for the tropicalmembers of the latter genus. They are not often seen in moderncollections, but when A. Cathcartii and A. Lowii are wellgrown, and in flower, few Orchids attract so much Cathcartii comes from the deep, hot, moist valleys of theEastern Himalaya. Its fleshy flowers, three inches across, areborne four or five together on short stiffs spikes. The under side.
