134 ORCHIDS : HOW TO GROW THEM SUCCESSFULLY. 



CYPRIPEDIUM BOXALLII. From Moulmein. 



This very pretty species is grown in exactly the same way as 

 advised for C. villosum (page 89), and the flowers have a glazed 

 appearance like that species, but in this plant the dorsal sepal is heavily 

 spotted with dark purple, and it flowers during the winter and spring 

 months. 



Established plants, 3s. 6d. to 5s. per strong flowering growth. 



TWENTY-FOUR ADDITIONAL ORCHIDS FOR THE 

 INTERMEDIATE HOUSE. 



AERIDES FIELDIJTOI. From the East Indies. 



(The Fox's Brush Orchid.) 



This species should be potted and watered as recommended for A. 

 odoratum (page 113), but it should be grown on the shady side of this 

 house, and it flowers in spring. 



Good plants should be obtained with six or eight leaves, suitable 

 for growing on, at about 7s. 6d. to 10s. 6d., established. 



CYMBIDIUM LOWIANUM. From Burmah. 



This is a handsome free growing species, producing long spikes of

 blotch of deep red on the lip, and should have the same treatment as 

 C. eburneum (see page 103). 



Newly imported or established plants from 5s. to 10s. 6d. per 

 strong lead.

This is a free growing species with pretty yellow and spotted 

 flowers, and when the plant has grown to a good size it remains a long 

 period in bloom ; it should be grown in peat, sphagnum and charcoal, 

 and it can be treated as recommended for Sobralia macrantha. 



Established, from 10s. to 15s. per strong leading growth, though 

 at present it is not very common, and a little difficulty may be 

 experienced in obtaining small plants. 



L.ELIA CINNABARINA. From Brazil. 



This species blooms in the spring months; the flowers are of a 

 rich, deep, reddish orange colour, and the flower spikes appear from 

 the top of the bulbs, and, as with all Cattleyas and Lselias, in some 

 cases the sheaths from which the spikes come appear to be dead, but 

 this makes no difference to the plant blooming. This species will not
