ClRRHOPETALUM, LindUy. From cirrhus, a ten- 

 " dril, and petalon, a petal ; in allusion to the 

 form of the flowers, Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Orchidacece. 0. Thouarsii is a most singular 

 species, with long, strap-shaped sepals, grow- 

 ing from one side of the flowers, while the 

 petals are very small, yellow, spotted finely 

 with red. The rhizoma of this species elon- 

 gates very much, and is in a growing state 

 always at the extremity ; on this account it is 

 requisite, in potting, to keep the active part 

 nearest the side of the pot from which it 

 grows away. The other species have much 

 smaller flowers, without anything striking 

 about them. For culture, &c, they may be 

 referred to Stanhopea. Synonymies : 1, Ephip-
