84 PRESENT-DAY GARDENING 



species are white and fragrant, many of them being 

 furnished with long, greenish spurs. 



A representative selection could be made with A. 

 arcuatum, A. Ellisii, A. Humblotii, A. infundibular e, A. 

 Kotschyi, A. modestum, A. Scottianum, A. superbum (ebur- 

 neum), and A. sesquipedale, the last-named Madagascar 

 species being the finest of the genus. 



Anguloa. Colombian and Peruvian Orchids of strong 

 growth, and similar in habit to Lycaste. The flowers are 

 usually produced singly on upright stems. Pot in two- 

 thirds peat and one-third Sphagnum-moss or Osmunda 

 fibre. When good loam fibre can be obtained, a small 

 proportion may be added. Intermediate house. Rest 

 tolerably dry and cool after growth is completed. A. 

 Clowesii, yellow ; A. Ruckeri, yellow and dark-red ; A. 

 uniflora and its variety eburnea, white. 



Ancectochilus. A dwarf genus with fleshy, creeping 

 stems and very handsomely marked leaves. The plants 

 should be grown in shallow Orchid pots, using a mixture 

 of one-third peat, and loam and leaves in equal parts well 

 mixed together, adding some finely broken crocks. The 

 plants should be placed in a moist corner, or suspended 

 in a shady part of a warm, moist house. They root 

 along the stems, and may be increased by cutting the 

 leading portions with a root or two and leaving the 

 bases to break into new growth. 



With the Ancectochili, and often under the same generic 

 title, are usually associated Dossinia marmorata (A. Lowii), 

 with broadly ovate, olive-green, veined leaves ; Macodes 

 Petola, emerald-green veined with gold ; Hcemaria discolor, 

 dark bronzy-red veined with copper colour, often named
