globular, on erect scapes : habit similar to Lycasre, 

 which is a member of the same sub-tribe. The Anguloas 

 grow under shade of trees in leaf-mold. Some growers 

 find that they do well when placed under vines. They 

 are coolhouse orchids, but require a moderate rise in 

 temperature during the growing season. Oakes Ames. 



Anguloa is a very interesting genus of cool orchids 

 that thrive well in an ordinary greenhouse temperature, 

 in which a minimum of 50° can be maintained. They are 

 natives of the Andes of Colombia and Peru. The popular 

 name of " Boat Orchid " somewhat suggests their 

 shape and general appearance, the lip, being delicately 



hinged at i

Clowesii, but it is very rare in cultivation, as are all of

 them very valuable commercially. A.nniflora is also a 

 pretty plant, with white flowers, spotted with pink. Pot 

 culture is best, as they require similar treatment to

 appears as a trade name, but the form is very uncertain, 

 as no tyjK' seems to be in existence. According to the 

 descripticin, it is very much like the preceding species, 

 except that Tile iipper surface of the tubercle is not ir- 

 regularly Assured, but is smooth, at least at the edges, 

 except for the central furrow.

 older tubercles blunt or retuse, %-l in. long and about
