 Nat. ord. Orchids [Orchidaceas]. Linn. zo-Gynandria, 

 i-Monandria.) 



Stove terrestrial orchids, and a great contrast to 

 most of the order, being more remarkable for their 

 beautiful foliage rather than showy flowers. The ovate 

 leaves are beautifully reticulated and the colours very 

 bright. They are rather difficult to cultivate, requiring 

 a close, moist atmosphere potted in sand, sphagnum, 

 peat, powdered charcoal, and a little good fibrous loam 

 may be added, drainage should consist of broken crocks 

 and lumps of charcoal ; few of them grow more than 

 about six inches high, and having spreading rhizomes 

 require to be regulated and pegged to the surface. 

 Propagated from the spreading stems, which should be 

 cut off quite close below a joint. They are usually 

 grown in glass cases over a bed of sphagnum moss or 

 under large bell-glasses. The temperature may vary 

 from 55* to 66 in winter, and in the spring or growing 

 season may rise to 80. In Ceylon they grow in the 

 hedgerows, and the natives call reealis " The King of 

 the Woods."
