ONCI'DIUM. (From ogkos, a tumour ; re- 

 ferring to excrescences on the base of the 

 lip, or labellum. Nat. ord., Orchids [Or- 

 ehidacese]. Linn., 2Q-Gynandria l-Monan- 

 dria. Allied to Odontoglossum.) 



Stove orchids. Divisions as growth is commenc- 

 ing in spring ; very shallow baskets suit all the 

 krgest-leaved kinds, or they may be fastened to a 

 block of wood, that fastened across the mouth of 

 a pot, the pot filled loosely with pieces of wood 

 and charcoal, to insure perfect drainage, and then 

 rotten wood, sphagnum, and fibry peat laid round 

 the lower part of the plants, provided the base of 

 the leaves is not covered. Hardy kinds, as flexu- 

 o'sum, re-quire more packing; small, tender kinds 

 must be carefully treated, to prevent damping, 

 especially when not growing. Winter temp., 58 

 to 60 ; summer, 60 to 90.
