Trizeuxis
(from treis, three, and zeuxis, a union; alluding to the cohesion of the three sepals). ORD. Orchideae. A monotypic genus. The species is a small, stove, epiphytal Orchid, of no great beauty, but remarkable in having the lip superior, i.e., with the parts of the flower in their proper position, the ovary not being twisted as in the generality of Orchids. The plant will succeed if fastened to a piece of wood. It may be multiplied by divisions. T. falcata (sickle-leaved). fl. green, minute, densely racemose along the branches of the slender scape, which is 6in. to 12in. high. l. distichous-rosulate, oblong-linear, acuminate, slightly falcate, 3in. to 6in. long, 1/3in. broad. Columbian Andes and Trinidad, 1820. (H. E. F. 126; L. B. C. 975; L. C. B. 2.)
