COCHI.IODA (from Icochlkm, a little snail; in re- 

 ference to thy curiously shaped callus). Ord. Orchidem, A 

 genus embracing about six species of .stove or greenhouse, 

 ©verj^reen, epiphytal Orchids, natives of the South American 

 Andod, Flowers often red, loosely racemose, pedicellate ; 

 Bepala equal, spreading, free, or the lateral ones more or 

 less cvmnate ; petals nearly similar ; claw of the lip erect, 

 the lamiui spreading, the lateral lobes rounded and ofteu 

 refiexed, the middle one narrow, entire or emarginate, not 

 exceeding the sepals; colsunu erect, often slightly in. 

 curvodi scapes one or two, springing from under the 

 peeudo-bulbe. Leaves oblong or narrow, coriaceous, con- 

 tracted into the petioles. Pseudo-bulbs one or two-leaved. 

 The three species here described should be grown in 

 baskets snspen<led from the roof of the cool-house. Peat 

 and moaa form the most suitable compost; and abundance 

 of water during the growing i-eason is essential. Propa- 

 gation may be effected by division of the pseudo-bulbs.
