ScHOMBtJRGKIA, Lindley. In honour of Sir 

 Robert H. Schomburgk, a zealous naturalist, 

 and a traveller in British Guiana on account 

 of the Royal Geographical Society. Linn. 20, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacece. S. marginata, 

 and another species recently introduced, were 

 originally discovered by the gentleman to 

 whom the genus is dedicated. S. marginata 

 is at present supposed to he rather difficult of 

 culture. It will not grow so as to flower if 

 kept in a pot, but thrives perfectly well when 

 attached to a piece of wood, with a little moss 

 on its roots. It must be kept in a hot, moist 



part of the house. "In its native state, its 

 flower-stalk is frequently four feet high, 

 branching, and covered with flowers. During 

 the dry season, it will bear intense heat with- 

 out injury." Synonyme: 1, Epidendrumtibici- 

 nis.

Schrankia. Willdenow. In honour of Francis 

 Paula von Schrank, a famous German botanist, 

 and author of many botanical works. Linn. 

 23, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Fabacece. These plants 

 are very interesting on account of their leaves, 

 which, like those of the sensitive plant, fall at 

 the slightest touch. A mixture of loam, peat, 

 and sand, is best adapted to them ; and they 

 may be increased by young cuttings, planted 

 in sand, under a glass, in heat, or by sepa- 

 rating the tubers of the roots,
