To cultivate this genus successfully, 

 divide it into two sections : The first, 

 C. barbata, cristata, Cumingiij elata, fu- 

 liginosa, ocellata, speciosa, and some other 

 new species from Borneo not yet bloom- 

 ed in this country. The second section, 

 C. Gardneriana, maculata, prcecox, and 

 W^attichiana. 



The compost for the first section should 

 be chopped sphagnum, turfy peat, using 

 only the fibrous part, and small potsherds. 

 The season for potting is when they be- 

 gin to grow, about February. Some of 

 the species have long rhizomas (creep- 

 ing stems), and would soon run over the 

 edges of the pot. To keep them at 

 home, place an upright block of wood in 

 the centre of the pot; clothe it with 

 moss, and, as the plant advances in 

 growth, train to it, and fasten it with 

 fine copper wire. "When growing, they 

 require a liberal amount of water, but 

 the water must not lodge in the hearts 

 of the young leaves. In very hot 

 weather syringe the plants in the morn- 

 ing, and give air to dry up the extra 

 moisture. Shade from bright sunshine, 

 removing it off by four or five o'clock. 

 The annual growths should be finished 

 early in the autumn, and then the heat 

 and moisture should be reduced ; and, 

 when winter approaches, cease watering 

 altogether. 



For the second section the soil should 

 be a compost of sandy peat, fibrous loam, 

 and half decayed leaves, with a small 

 portion of river sand. Drain moderately
