This is one of the species which ought not to be cultivated 

 in a high temperature, but which succeed admirably in a 

 house which is kept between a greenhouse and stove. In 

 such a house it grows and flowers freely with very little care, 

 if planted amongst turfy peat in a well-drained pot, or sus- 

 pended from the rafters in a basket or forked block of wood. 

 Great care must be taken of the young shoots, as they are 

 very easily rotted with too much water, when they commence 

 their growth. It is easily multiplied, as it forms numerous 

 pseudo-bulbs on the sides and top of the old ones, as well as 

 at their base. 



The species of Mormodes now in our gardens are : 



1. M. atropurpureum. 



2. — aromaticum. 



3. — pardinum (which seems to be the same as Cyclosia maculata 



of Klotzsch) . 



4. — buccinator. 



.5. — citrinum (which is Catasctum citrinum). 



6. — Uneatum. 



7. — hixatnm.
