GENERA AND SPECIES 95 



Galeandra. These are deciduous epiphytes, needing 

 similar cultivation to Catasetum. 



Gomeza. Allied to Odontoglossum. The flowers are 

 yellowish, and are produced in racemes. Intermediate- 

 house plants. 



Gongora. Intermediate-house Orchids, which should be 

 grown in baskets or suspending pans to allow of the full 

 production of their long flower-spikes. 



Grammatophyllum. A genus of strong-growing epi- 

 phytal Orchids for the warm house. G. speciosum is a 

 gigantic Malayan species. 



Grobya. Brazilian Orchids represented by G. galeata 

 and G. Amherstice. Intermediate house. 



Habenaria. Terrestrial Orchids. H. militaris and H. 

 rhodocheila are bright scarlet ; H. carnea, flesh colour ; H. 

 Susannce, H. Bonatea, and H. Uganda, tall-growing, green and 

 white. The two latter species will grow in a cool house ; 

 the others need greater warmth. The North American 

 species are nearly hardy, and may be grown in a frame. 



Houlletia. Fragrant epiphytal Orchids from South 

 America. Intermediate house. 



I onopsis. Pretty, slender, white and lilac species. 

 Grow in small baskets in the intermediate house. 



Laelia. One of the largest and showiest genera, great 

 favourites in gardens, and fine subjects in the hands of the 

 hybridiser. The Mexican species L. anceps, L. autumnalis, 

 L. albida, &c., used to be allotted a special dryish inter- 

 mediate house, but they are now usually grown in the 

 intermediate or Cattleya house, and rested in a cooler 

 vinery or corridor. All the species require the same 

 treatment as Cattleya.
