ORCHIDS. 



Houlletia tigrina. Colombia ...... I. H., 612. 



Flowers yellow and brown; lip white, dotted with 

 brown, and barred with light purple. 



B. Houlletia vittata. Brazil ..... B. R., 27, 69. 



Perianth yellow, striped with brown ; lip yellow, striped 

 with orange. 



These plants should be grown in well-drained pots, in 

 peat, and need plenty of moisture and frequent watering 

 when in full growth. During the resting season they 

 should be kept in the cold house, nearly dry. 



The genus seems to be neglected by Orchid growers, 

 but for no good reason. All the species are of easy cul- 

 ture, bloom freely, and are very handsome.
