 genus includes 2 handsome flowering shrubs cult, out-

 tall-growing, and bear clusters of as many as 20 tubular, 

 drooping fls., each 1-1^ in. long and less than % in.

lONOPSlDIUM (Greek, violet-like). Cruciferce. I. 

 nraule is a pretty, tufted little plant, growing 2 or 3 

 inches high and bearing numerous m,i;iII ( p.-trilid. lilac 

 fls. from spring to fall. It is a li:ili lin.i) |h rinnial 

 from Spain and N. Africa, but is tr. :it, .1 :i-. im annual. 

 It is desirable for edgings in moisi. -lia.l> phnas, and 

 for rockeries. In rich garden soil the plants make 

 numerous runners. The fls. are about >i2 in. across, 1 on 

 each stalk. They open white and turn lilac. The plant 

 . has been advertised as the Diamond Flower by seeds- 

 men. This plant is referred by Index Kewensis to 

 Oochlearia, a genus whose limits are very uncertain.

IONOPSIS (Greek, OTo!«<-Ztfte). OrchidAcecs. A small 

 genus of epiphytic orchids, numbering about 10 species, 

 many of which can probably be reduced to vai-ieties of a 

 few species. Most of the species are insignificant, only 

 one or two being cultivated. The fine specimen of /. 

 pnniculata figured in the Botanical Magazine has a 

 panicle 10 in. long, 8J^ in. wide, with 5 branches, and 

 about 80 fls., each three-quarters of an inch across and 

 chietiy white, with violet markings near the center and 

 a dash of yellow. In its native country it is said to re- 

 main in attractive condition from Sept. to May. The fls. 

 are produced so freely and over so long a period that it 

 is sometimes necessary to destroy the flower spikes, 

 which are out of all proportion to the number of Ivs. 

 The plants succeed in the warmhouse under the same 

 treatment as Burlingtonias or the more delicate Oncid- 



lonopsis consists of tropical herbs without pseudo- 

 bulbs, having very short stems, with few, narrow, 

 sheathing, coriaceous lvs.: sepals subequal, erect, 

 spreading, the dorsal one free, the lateral ones united 

 into a short spur behind; petals like the dorsal sepals; 

 labellum united to the base of the column, middle lobe 

 large, expanded, 2-3 times as long as the sepals, 2-lobed; 

 column short: pollinia 2: fls. small, in simple racemes 

 or much-branched panicles. 



paniculita, Lindl. Lvs. thick and channelled, linear 

 lanceolate, keeled, 2-3 in a cluster and about 6 in. long: 

 panicle much branched and spreading, loaded with in- 

 numerable fls. of a delicate texture: sepals and petals 

 very short, sharp-pointed, the petals wider; labellum 

 very large, pubescent at base, with a 2-lobed rounded 

 limb, which in some is almost entirely white, while in 

 others it has a spot of purple or yellow on the disk.

 Very variable. 



utricularioldes, Lindl. Lvs. and general habit as in 

 the last: sepals and petals bluntish; spur short; la- 

 bellum almost twice as long as the petals: lobes sub- 

 quadrate-rounded, white, streaked with red veins.
