grown from mixed seed, it is hardly desirable to give a 
selection of named kinds. 'These are most important to 
the seed raiser only, to constitute and fix his strain. А

Orchidee. An interesting genus of stove orchids (about 
six species are known), not remarkable for any particular 
beauty, and, consequently, rarely seen in cultivation. The 
flowers of this genus are numerously produced on long ~ 
pendulous racemes, springing from the base of the pseudo- — 
bulbs. When grown in pots, the spikes of these pretty, _ 
fragrant flowers hang down all round the sides, and present _ 
a very neat and effective appearance. For culture, see  .

CIRRHOPETALUM (from cirrhus, a tendril, and 
petalon, a flower-leaf; in reference to the strap-shaped 
petals). Syn. Ephippium. ORD. Orchidew. In this some- 
what extensive genus (about thirty species are known 
but few are in cultivation) we have both very beautiful 
and equally curious species. They are closely allied to _ 
Bulbophyllum, from which genus, however, they may LES 
distinguished by having their lateral sepals very much 
lengthened out. It is this peculiar elongation w: 
gives them their distinctive appearance and peculiar 
charm. They are stove epiphytes, with roundish pseudo- 
bulbs, from the top of which proceeds a single fleshy 
leaf.  Cirrhopetalums should be grown in baskets, 
upon blocks of wood, suspended from the roof, in 
& situation that they can receive а goodly share о! 
air, and light. They enjoy a plentiful supply of 
during the summer months, and, even during 
anything like drying-off should be carefully a 
although, as а matter of course, much less water 
be required. In syringing, care must be taken to avoid 
sprinkling the blooms. When the plants are in 
they will need shading from the sun’s rays.
