1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, &C. 63 
Aponogeton—continued. 
The propagation of the Lattice-leaf Plant is effected 
by means of divisions of the root-stock and also by 
seeds. It is rather a capricious subject to cultivate, for 
treatment that suits it in one place sometimes disagrees 
with it in another, which perhaps may be owing to 
foreign matter held in suspension by the water. As is the 
ease with many other plants, its successful cultivation 
greatly depends on apparently trifling details, but a well- 
grown specimen is a unique object of beauty, deserving 
all the attention that can be bestowed upon it. 
To the species described on p. 93, Vol. I., the following 
should be added: 
A. angustifolium (narrow-leaved). ae pale red ; bracts white ; 
stamens six; spike bifid, few-flowered. July. J. linear-lanceo- 
late, submerged, opaque, variable in size. South Africa, 1788. 
(B. M. 1268.) 
A. distachyon Lagrangei (Lagrange’s). A form with white 
and rosy-flesh-coloured bracts, flushed with green at the base. 
1895. (R. H. 1895, p. 380.) 
A. d. monostachyon (single-spiked). The correct name of 
A. monostachyon. (A. B. R. 46.) 
A. d. roseum (rosy). A charming variety, having rosy-tinted 
flowers. 1885, 
A. fenestrale. Thisis the correct name of the plant described 
as Ouvirandra fenestralis. 
APORIA CRATZGI. See Lepidoptera. 
APORUM. Included under Dendrobium (which 
see). 
APPENDAGE. Any superadded or 
part; e.g., thorns, hairs, &c., on a stem. 
APPENDICULA (from appendiz ; in allusion to the 
appendage at the base of the lip). Syns. Conchochilus, 
Metachilum. Orv. Orchideex. A genus embracing about 
a score species of stove, epiphytal Orchids, with tufted, 
leafy stems, natives of tropical Asia, Australia, and Poly- 
nesia. Flowers usually minute; sepals connivent, the 
lateral ones connate at base and adnate to the produced 
foot of the column, forming a mentum; petals variable ; 
lip erect, inserted on the foot of the column or with its 
sides adnate thereto; column very short, the rostellum 
erect, bifid. About four species have been introduced, but 
they are of no horticultural value.
