Above 400 species are described, from Tropical America, 

 extending as far north as Texas, where one species 

 exists on trees of Magnolia glauca. A large pro- 

 portion are fragrant, but with dingy white or greenish 

 flowers. E. vitellinum, E. nemorale, E. bicornutum, 

 and many others are, however, showy and generally 

 cultivated. E. cochleatum and E. fragrans were the 

 first epiphytal Orchids to flower in the Eoyal Gardens 

 at Kew. See Orchid Album, t. 4, 74, 149, 157, 161.
