ONCI'DIUM. (From ogkos, a tumour ; 

 referring to excrescences on the base 

 of the lip orlabellum. Nat. ord., Orchids 

 [Orchidaceffi]. Linn., 20-Gynandria 1- 

 Monandria. Allied to Odontoglossum.) 



Stove orchids. Divisions as growth is com- 

 mencing in spring ; very shallow baskets suit 

 all the largest-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 ensure 

 perfect drainage, and then rotten wood, sphag- 

 num, and fibry peat, laid round the lower part 

 of the plants, provided the base of the leaves is 

 not covered. Hardy kinds, as Flexuosum, re- 

 quire more packing ; small tender kinds must 

 be carefully treated to prevent damping, espe- 

 cially when not growing. Winter temp., 58 to 

 65 ; summer, 60 to 90.
