88 PRESENT-DAY GARDENING 



impatient of a close atmosphere, and therefore the proper 

 ventilation of the house in which they are grown is an 

 important matter. C. Triana, var Hydra, is illustrated in 

 Plate IV. 



Chysis. A small genus of intermediate-house epiphytes, 

 comprising C. bradescens, white ; C. aurea and C. Icevis, 

 yellow and red ; C. Limminghei, and several hybrids. 



Cirrhopetalum. A section of Bulbophyllum, of similar 

 habit, and requiring similar treatment. The curiously 

 formed flowers frequently have the upper segments fringed, 

 and the lateral ones approached and continued into slender 

 tails. 



Cirrhaea. Allied to Gongora, and requiring similar 

 treatment. 



Cochlioda. A compact-growing genus to be grown 

 with the Odontoglossums. C. Noezliana, scarlet, has been 

 a fine species in the hands of the hybridiser, and in the 

 future may give us " Scarlet Odontoglossums/' C. vulcanica 

 has deep rose-coloured flowers. 



Ccelia. There are several species of Ccelia, and they 

 require to be grown in the intermediate house. 



Ccelogyne A very large genus of two distinct sections, 

 that represented by C. cristata being evergreen ; the Pleione 

 or Indian crocus section deciduous, and requiring to be 

 treated as terrestrial Orchids, while the larger section are 

 epiphytal. The epiphytal sections are warm and inter- 

 mediate house plants. The Pleiones should be grown in a 

 cool house, and rested quite dry after the leaves fade and 

 until growth again commences. 



Comparettia. These are small - growing epiphytes. 

 Grow in small baskets or hanging pans in the intermediate
