 Maxillaria, Ruiz and Pavon. So named in 

 consequence of the resemblance between the 

 . column and labellum and the jaws or maxillas 

 of some animal. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Orchidacece. This is an extensive and very 

 elegant genus of plants, all of which are highly 

 deserving of cultivation, either for the beauty 

 or delicious fragrance of the flowers. M. 

 SteUii is not only a very remarkable, but a very 

 beautiful plant ; the flowers are large, of a fine 

 yellow colour, irregularly spotted with dark 

 purple. This, and several other species, as 

 M. acicularis, inibricala, racemdsa, and M. 

 ru/Sscens, should be grown on wood, on which 

 a little moss should be placed, then the roots 

 of the plant put on that, with a sufficient 

 quantity of moss, and the whole fastened to 

 the wood with some metallic wire. For the 

 culture of the other species, see Stanhopea.
