The flowers are generally very beautiful, and frequently highly fragrant: they vary from a deep yellow to nearly white. All the species in the gardens are cultivated without the least difficulty by being planted in any light vegetable earth. Sometimes they are put in baskets among damp moss, but they do not succeed so well under that treatment as when planted in earth. 1901. Camaridium. Named by Mr. Lindley, from κaμaρa, an arched roof. The stigma of this genus has the upper lip vaulted in a remarkable degree. An inelegant leafy caulescent bulbous epiphyte, with solitary white flowers. 1902. Ornithidium. From oρviθiς, a bird, in allusion to the resemblance which exists between the cuspidate upper lip of the stigma, and a bird's beak. The habit of this plant is like that of the last, but the flowers are red. They are both cultivated without difficulty in a stove, by being planted among rotten wood, or tan.
Mr. Salisbury says, Ornithidium coccineum is a parasite on old trees, near torrents, in the island of Martinico; its filled roots insinuating themselves into the crevices of their moist bark. Here it thrives exceedingly, in fibrous roots insinuating themselves into the crevices of their moist bark. Here it thrives exceedingly, in pots filled with the same, flowering at various seasons, but chiefly in October and November. During summer it should be placed in a shady part of the stove, and often sprinkled with water, but it requires little or none in winter, especially when plunged. 1903. Isochilus. From iσoς, equal, and χεiλoς, a lip, because the lip and the other divisions of the flower are of and nearly equal breadth. The species grow in baskets of moss and old tan, or planted in pots of sandy soil, are nearly equal breadth. The species grow in baskets of moss and old tan, or planted in pots of sandy soil, and chips of wood, and other dry rubbish. They are increased by divisions at the root. 1904. Pholidota. A singular bulbous epiphyte, native of Nepal, remarkable for the close manner in which the flowers are covered over by the imbricated scale-like bracteæ, from which circumstance (podis, a scale), we flowers are covered over by the imbricated scale-like bracteæ , from which circumstance (φoλiς, a scale), we ORDER I.

No explanation, however, of his names is ever given by this author, who seems to attach too little importance to the etymology of botany. 1905. Broughtonia. Named by Brown, in the Hortus Kewensis, without explanation. A handsome plant, with fine scarlet flowers. It is very rare, and cultivated with little success. fine scarlet flowers. It is very rare, and cultivated with little success. 1906. Cattleya. Named by Mr. Lindley, after William Cattley, Esq. a munificent encourager of botany, and his early friend. A superb genus of bulbous epiphytes, with fleshy leaves growing in pairs, and large violet or yellow flowers. 1907. Epidendrum. From επi, upon, and δεvδρov. All the species are found naturally growing upon trees, not however, as De Theis tells us, sucking their sap, by insinuating their little roots beneath the bark, but vegetating in the soil which collects upon the forks of the branches. Many of the species have singular flowers , but none of those in the gardens are remarkable for their beauty. They are generally cultivated with less difficulty than most other epiphytes. Salisbury tells us, Epidendrum ciliare should be planted in pots, filled with porous stones, a few decayed leaves, and knobs of bark taken fresh from the woods: but it requires very little water; and if the leaves turn yellow, it is a sign that they have either too much wet, or too much sun. With such treatment, by keeping four or five pots of it, the stove will be enlivened with their long tubular flowers, slowly succeeding one another, at most periods of the year. It is easily propagated by dividing its stems. 1908. Polystachya. From πoλuς, many, and saχuς, a spike, on account of the compound nature of the inflorescence. Inconspicuous plants, requiring the treatment applied to similar kinds. 1909. Cryptarrhena. A pretty little stemless epiphyte with distichous leaves, and neat yellow flowers. It was named by Mr. Brown, from κρuπτoς, concealed, and ἀρρηv, a male, on account of the hooded apex of the column which covers up the anther. The plant is believed to be now lost to the gardens. sword-leaved cu 출 1911. BLE/TIA. Fl. per. BLETIA.
