CLASSIFIED LISTS. 41 



ported plants may be potted, or put into baskets, or kept on the 

 blocks just as the different species require. 



GROUPED LISTS OF SELECTED SPECIES. 



IN the following catalogue I have given the names of such 

 species only as have either large, showy flowers, or flowers pro- 

 duced so numerously as to make a good display in the mass. In a 

 botanical point of view, all Orchids, however small their flowers 

 may be, are worthy of culture, but for general purposes or 

 ornament, or for exhibition, the greater number of species are 

 almost useless. Fortunately there are handsome-flowering species 

 enough to fill any houses that may be devoted to them, especially 

 if they are well grown into moderately- sized plants. I venture 

 to say that there are not a dozen collections in all Britain that con- 

 tain all the species in my selected list. I shall place them in 

 groups according to the modes of culture they require.

 compost of fibry peat, sphagnum moss chopped fine and sifted, 

 the dust thrown away, and the whole mixed with small pieces of 

 charcoal.
