H3;MARIA (Greek, referring to the blood-red under 

 surface of the lvs.). Orchiddeem. A genus of 4 .'species 

 of terrestrial orchids, known to the trade cliiclly as 

 Goodyera. They are really dwarf stove foliaijr i.hmis, 

 and are to be cult, like Ancectochilus. In 11a iiuma tin 

 lower lip is swelled above its base into a \vi.l._- rl.(w ami 

 is provided with a pouch-like sac at base, and a Ijlade of 

 2 divergent lobes ; in Goodyera the blade of the lip is 

 small and not clawed Both genera belong to a large 

 group in which the lip either has no spur or sac, or if 

 the latter is present, it is included between the sepals; 

 while in Anoectochilus the lip ha.s a prominent sac or 

 spur projecting between the lateral sepals. 



The leaves of H. discolor are green above and red be- 

 low. It is, however, not nearly so biiUiant as Hivmatm 

 Dawsoniana, which has the same red color beneath, and 

 is beautifully netted above with red or yellow. In both 

 species a dozen or more small fls., chiefly white, are 

 borne on a densely hairy scape. Alfred Rehder writes
