1 68 ORCHIDS. 



A very showy species, with large yellow and brown 

 flowers in summer. Lip white rayed with reddish purple. 

 Generally known as Huntleya meleagris. 



There are about half a dozen species of this genus, all 

 with radical light green leaves and showy flowers. They 

 should be grown in pots in sphagnum, with good drainage 

 and plenty of water in the growing season. 



The intermediate house is the best place for them. As 

 they have no pseudo-bulbs, they must not become dry, 

 but care must be taken not to overwater when they are at 

 rest.
