(^Trihi_' E[)iLlenihx'ac, .si/hfi-ibr Laelieae.) 



A small genus consisting of dwarf and compact-growing epiphytal 

 pseudobulbous plants, "\\'ith curious evergreen terete foliage channelled 

 on the upper side, and flowering from the top of the pseudohulb. It is 

 referred to Tet ramlcra by Bentham. One peculiarity of these ]5lants is the 

 small auricle-like lateral lobes of the lip. They are of Brazilian origin. 



Culture. — These plants are of easy culture, and will do either on 

 blocks or in pots with peat suspended from the roof. They are very 

 accommodating, for they will grow in either house, rerpiiring a liberal 

 supply of water in the growing season. They are projjagated by dividing 

 the plants.
