Eulophiella. 



flowers are rose-coloured, and home in axillary spikes ; the lip 

 is large ; the lateral lobes are oblong, the middle one being 

 bilobed. The rhizomes are yellowish-white and Iris-like. Syn. 

 Grammatoplixlluin Rivmplerianum. 



FERNANDEZIA {LiuJL). This is now included under 

 Lockhartia. 



QALEANDRA. 



About ten species, all natives of tropical America, are 

 included under Lindley's name for this genus, of the tribe 

 Vandar. Three or four only are worth cultivating ; these, 

 when their requirements are properly understood, are 

 very satisfactory, because of the beauty of the flowers and 

 the' long time they remain in perfection. They have erect, 

 stem-like pseudo-bulbs, bearing several long and narrow 

 leaves in two opposite rows, and producing the inflo- 

 rescence from the top as soon as growth is completed. 

 The distinctive part of the flower is the lip, which is 

 large and somewhat funnel-shaped. The generic name is 

 from galea, a helmet, and aiier, ai/ciros. a stamen ; in 

 reference to the crested male organ on the top of the 

 column. 



Ctdture. — The greatest success is attained by growing the 

 plants in well-drained pots or baskets of fibrous peat and 

 sphagnum, in a light position near the glass in the warm 

 house, with copious supplies of water during the time of 

 active growth. When that period is over, they must be 

 removed to cooler quarters, and the amount of water at 

 the roots proportionately reduced. Their greatest enemies 

 are thrips and red spider : these must be closely guarded 

 against by keeping a moist atmosphere about the plants, 

 and by occasional fumigation and dipping. 



Q. Baueri(Z;W/.).— A pretty-flowered species, with three-nerved, 

 lance-shaped leaves, and pseudo-bulbs about ift. high, bearing from 

 the top a drooping raceme of flowers, each being about 2in. across. 

 The sepals and petals are narrowly oblong and pointed; they 

 are brownish-green in colour, the petals being slightly darker. 

 The lip is broad at the front, narrowing to a spur at the base, 

 with the edges coding above the column ; the front portion is 

 purple, and the outside white. The species flowers from June
