H/EMARIA. 



Formerly the ]:ilatits contained in thi.s genus, founded 

 by Lindlc)-, were known under the name of Ajuvctochiliis. 

 The species are terrestrial Orchids, of the tribe Ncottu\c, 

 and are natives of China, Cochin China, and the Mala}-an 

 Archipelago. The\' are dwarf stove subjects, grown for 

 their lovely foliage. The name is from tlie Greek liaiina, 

 blood, and is in allusion to the colour of the under surface 

 of the lea\-es. Sepals free ; dorsal one erect, conni\-ent 

 ox coherent with the petals in a hood ; lateral ones 

 spreading ; lip affixed to the base of the column. The 

 cultural requirements are similar to those recommended 

 for Anccctochilus, though the culture of the plants has 

 been successfully undertaken on the Continent without 

 the aid of glasses. 



HARTWEQIA. 



This genus, foinided b\' Lindle\', and named after tlie 

 well-known botanical collector, Theodor Hartweg, consists 

 (if about a couple of species of intermediate-house 

 epijihytal Orchids, of the tribe Epidcmhwc, and nati\es 

 of Central America. H. purpurea (lii/dl) is probabl)- the 

 onU' species in culti\'ation, and this is rarely met with 

 outside botanic collections.
