Late-blooming annuals. 



Probably the best annuals to bloom in late fall, even 

 after the first frosts, are i)etunia, phlox, and verbena. 

 Other excellent kinds are ageratum, alyssiim, antir- 

 rhinum or snapdragon. Calendula offieinalis, California 

 poppy, gaillardia, marigold, and pansy. The list may 

 be extended by

ANCECTOCHILUS (Greek, open ?i». Orchidacex. A 

 group cultivated for the beautifully reticulated leaves, 

 which are oval or ovate, membranaceous and diversely 

 colored; the flowers are small, not ornamental. 



Terrestrial, from a creeping rhizome: Ivs. basal 

 in a spike or raceme; sepals free, the dorsal erect, form- 

 ing a hood with the petals, the lateral sepals spreading; 

 lip adnale to the foot of the column, spreading; claw 

 fimbriate, the blade 2-lobed. — About 8 species. 



Although many methods have been adopted for the 

 Buccessful cultivation of the best species and varieties, 

 failure has been the rule, so that at present few Ameri- 

 can collections contain even a single specimen. Plants 

 introduced by collectors sometimes thrive for a few 

 years and then fail, in spite of all efforts. Frequently 

 they can be kept only a year or two. 



Bullenii, Low. Lvs. about 2 in. long, bronze-green, 

 with .j longitudinal bands of copptT-red. Borneo. 



regilis, Blume. Fig. 217. One of the most attractive 

 specie.s of the group: lvs. oval, large, bronze- 

 green netted, veined with gold, the surface 

 of the Iv.s. like velvet. Java. B.M. 4123. 

 F.S. 2:79 fboth as A. selaceus). — Several 

 good varieties exist. 



Rdxburghii, Lindl. Lvs. ovate, median 

 line of pale green, reticulated and veined 

 with gold .Java and India. 



Several kinds are described and figured in foreign 

 publications, but they are all fanciers' plants. Other 

 namen which appear in the American trade are: A. 

 Dai/ina = (?) — A. DawKtmianun = Hjemaria. — A. 

 Fri/Urici- Aunivtlii. Reichb, f. (A. xanthophyllu.s. 

 Planch,), LvH. dark velvety green, the broad orange 

 Btripc down the center covered with a network of gold.
