ORNITHIDIUM COCCINEUM, 
Class. Order. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
We received this plant about the year 
1810, from our late excellent friend, Dr. 
Anderson, of St. Vincent. Tt has been se- 
parated from the genus Epidendrum, in 
which it was originally included. Tt re- 
quires the stove heat, and is easier to 
manage than the generality of this class of 
plants, multiplying itself by side shoots 
'The soil we use for it is loam and peat, to 
which is added a large portion of rotten 
wood or saw-dust, and some moss. 
The flowers are in perfection during most 
of the summer months; they are worthy 
of the minutest examination, being exceed- 
ingly eurious in their structure: who in-
