Epidendnim. 



the flowers, and the long time that they last in full beauty (fully 

 two months), render this a most desirable plant. It blossoms 

 during summer, and being a sub-alpine is very easily culti- 

 vated. It may be grown in shallow pans or pots, and as 

 regards temperature, treated similarly to Odon/oglossii?n. It likes 

 plenty of sunlight. Mexico, 1859. (B. M., t. 4017.) 



Var. tnajiis is really larger-flowered than the type. As a 

 rule, however, all the plants in cultivation are called E. vitelliniim 

 majiis, however poor in flower they may be. 



E. Wallisii {Rihh. /.). — A distinct and pretty-flowered species, 

 with reed-like stems 2ft. to 4ft. high, and covered with raised 

 dots of purple. The leaves are 4in. long, and arranged in two 

 regular series. The flowers are produced from the top of the 

 stems, and are either terminal or axillary ; strong stems bear 

 several bunches of flowers, each of which remains fresh for six 

 weeks or more. The blossoms are 2in. across; sepals and 

 petals equal, strap-shaped, yellow, spotted with crimson ; lip 

 large, fan-shaped, white, with feathery lines of crimson. Healthy 

 plants are in flower quite half the year, and the flowers have a 

 sweet, musk-like odour. This species should be grown in a 

 warm, moist house. It requires plenty of water all the year 

 round, as, indeed, do all the species with tall, reed-like stems.
