SCUEVY-GEASS iCnclilcdvia nffieinnlis. Linn.), a 

 common European pterennial, is so called from its anti- 

 scorbutic qualities, which have long been recognized. 

 Stimulant, diuretic, st()nnicliic and laxative properties 

 liave been ascribed to it. In general appearance — leaf , 

 flower, frtiit — it somewhat resembles its clo.se relative, 

 water cress, but in tlavor it is acrid, bitter, ptmgent, and 

 has a strong suggestion of t;ir. Braising reveals a dis- 

 agreeable odor. \Ylieu cultivated it is treated as an 

 annual, the seed b(dng sown tijion garden loam in a 

 cord, sliaily itlace where the jdants are to remain. It is 

 grown to a limited extent in jVmerica, has escajied from 

 cuitivatitni. but so tar has not become ol)noxii>us as a 

 weed like water cress. jl, Q. Kains.

SCUTICARIA (Latin, .sourica, lash or whip). Orrhi- 

 dilrrw. This geuus is remarkable for it.s long whip-like 

 leaves, which are channeled on one side. No evident 

 pseudobuUis are formed, but each shoot terminates in a 

 long, pendulous leaf. The Ivs. are rather crowded on 

 the short rhizome. Pis. solitary or several, on short 

 peduncles. In structure the fls. resemble Maxillaria, 

 but the plants are easily distinguished by the terete 

 leaves. Sepals and petals similar, the lateral ones form- 

 ing a mentum: labelluni movable, 3-lobed, with large, 

 erect, lateral lobes: poilinia on a transversely elongated 

 stipe. Two species from South America, 



These plants require a temperature similar to Cattlcya 

 and Ladia, but should bo grown on blocks or in shallow 

 baskets in a mixture of equal parts peat fiber and sphag- 

 num. 5. Slerlii does best on a block, as the plant grows 

 downward in an inverted position. The compost should 

 be kept moist at all times, particnlarly while the plants 

 are in action. They are propagated by division.
