GOO DYER «A 
A genus of terrestrial orchids somewhat resembling the Anoectochilidae in having 
handsome, velvety, dark-green leaves, often beautifully marked or veined with 
silver and gold lines. They are of wide distribution, being found in Europe, 
Madeira, America, Asia, New Caledonia and Australia. Generally speaking, they 
are found in the tropical regions, but some species are found in the temperate lati- 
tudes. They are more easily grown than Anoectochilus and do not require the 
constant moist heat necessary to plants of that genus. A reasonably warm, moist 
glasshouse will suit them in the warmer parts of Brisbane, but artificial heat will 
be necessary in those places where the minimum temperature falls below 55 de- 
degrees Fhr. with any degree of frequency. Compost as recommended for Anoec- 
tochilus. The following are the best known species: — 
GOODYERA MACRANTHA. Native of Japan. 
Leaves dark green, centre band pale green, the whole of the upper surface being 
netted with pale green, the under surface also pale green. Flowers grow on ter- 
minal rose-pink spikes. Petals rose pink, sepals and lips white. 
Variety luteo-marginata. Same leaves as type but with a creamy-yellow margin. 
GOODYERA POLYGONOIDES. Native of Rockingham Bay, N.Q. 
Grows from a creeping rhizome from which grow stems up to 8 inches high, 
clothed and sheathed with the bases of a number of leaves. These are green, not 
variegated as the exotic species. 
GOODYERA PUBESCENS. Native of North America. 
Leaves dark green with a silvery white mid-rib, reticulated with pale green veins. 
Flowers on 8 to 10 inch spikes thickly covered with small white flowers.
