Expedition, found the plant on which the 

 genus is founded growing on the stems of the 

 Oil Palm (El&is guine&nsis). Linn. 20, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Orchid&cece. "A nohle Orchid, with 

 flowers somewhat the colour and appearance of 

 a large Cymbid, but far more showy. It roots 

 freely in turfy heath-mould, and requires an 

 ample supply of water during the growing 

 season. In winter a season of rest is necessary, 

 when little or no water should be given, a 

 damp atmosphere being sufficient for all the 

 requirements of the plant." — Bot. Reg. 30.

 comprises some very beautiful species, and 

 all may be grown in a mixture of loam and 

 peat, with the addition of a little sand. 

 The shrubby species propagate readily from 

 cuttings ; and from the bulbous kinds, offsets' 

 may he obtained. Most of them perfect seed. 

 None of the species will thrive if over- watered, 

 and the bulbous kinds should not have any 

 water in winter. Synonyme: 1, Scilld pomeri-
