VANDOPSIS (like Vanda). Orchiddcese. Includes 

 two or three species of orchids which formerly have 

 been united with Vanda or with Stauropsis. They 

 are distinguished from allied genera by the labellum, 

 which is firmly united with the column, not spurred, 

 concave at the base, with the terminal lobe compressed 

 laterally. In appearance these plants resemble robust 

 vandas, with which they are usually classed for horti- 

 cultural purposes. Treatment the same as for vanda. 



lissochiloides, Pfitz. (Vdnda Batemannii, Lindl.). 

 Fig. 3904. St. 1-5 ft. high: Ivs. strap-shaped, obliquely 

 emarginate, 2 ft. long: raceme tall, erect, bearing 12 and 

 more fls.: sepals and petals obovate, yellow, spotted 

 with brownish crimson, purple outside; labellum crim- 

 son-purple or yellowish. July-Sept. Philippines. B.R. 

 32:59. F.S. 18:1921. By some authorities retained in 

 Stauropsis, and so described on p. 3233. 



gigantea, Pfitz. (Vdnda gigantea, Lindl.). St. 

 pendulous: Ivs. 1-2 ft. long, thick, flat, obtusely 

 notched: raceme 10-15 in. long, decurved, many-fld.: 

 fls. 3 in. across, golden yellow, blotched with cinna- 

 mon; sepals and petals spatulate-obovate ; labellum 

 white. Burma. B.M. 5189. I.H. 8:277. R.H. 1874:

VANGUERIA (the Madagascan name of V. mada- 

 gascariensis is Voa-Vanguer). Rubidcese. Shrubs or 

 tree's, sometimes spiny or somewhat climbing in habit, 

 adapted to the warmhouse and may be hardy in the 

 extreme southern United States. 



Leaves opposite or rarely pseudo-verticillate in 4's, 

 oval: fls. small, white or greenish, in axillary clusters; 

 calyx 5- or 4-lobed, lobes deciduous or rarely persistent; 

 corolla hairy or not outside, usually furnished inside 

 with a ring of deflexed pilose hairs; lobes spreading or 

 reflexed; stamens 5, rarely 4; disk fleshy or depressed; 

 ovary 5-3-celled; ovules solitary: fr. drupaceous;
