Glossocomia, ORD. Campanulacee. A genus of glabrous 
herbs. Flowers whitish, yellowish, or deep purple, ter- 
minal, axillary, pedunculate. Leaves alternate or nearly 
opposite, ovate, acuminated, not entire, on short petioles, 
glancous, rarely hoary beneath. Branches usually opposite 
more or less articulated at their origin.

fringes on its veins; and a broad membranous column. 
The majority of the species are what may be termed cool- 
house, or, at any rate, intermediate-house, plants; for, 
although they like a somewhat higher temperature when 
growing, they remain more healthy, and flower more abun- 
dantly, if kept quite cool during the resting and flowering 
period. Pot culture is preferable for these plants, although 
they may also be grown upon blocks of wood. When small, 
and under this latter treatment, they are apt to dwindle 
away, instead of increasing in size. In preparing the 
pots or pans, good drainage must be carefully provided, as, 
although Coelogynes require and enjoy a liberal supply 
of water during the growing season, nothing stagnant 
or sour must be allowed to come near the roots. A 
good compost may be formed of about equal parts living 
sphagnum and fibrous peat, with the addition of a little 
silver sand. The plants should be raised upon a moderate- | 
sized cone above the rim of the pot, and then firmly 
pressed down. The time for repotting or surfacing is just 
after the flowers are past; and, as the blooming season 
of most of the kinds is during winter, this will come 
round about the middle of February. Although, as before 
remarked, these plants require a copious supply of water 
when growing, care must be taken that it does not lie in 
the centre of the young shoots, or they will be very apt 
to decay. When the growth is fully matured, an amount 
of moisture just sufficient to keep the pseudo-bulbs ff 
shrivelling, will be all that is necessary, PF
