GENERA AND SPECIES 95 
Galeandra.—These are deciduous epiphytes, needing 
similar cultivation to Catasetum. 
Gomeza.—Allied to Odontoglossum. The flowers are 
yellowish, and are produced in racemes. Intermediate- 
house plants. 
Gongora.—Intermediate-house Orchids, which should be 
grown in baskets or suspending pans to allow of the full 
production of their long flower-spikes. 
Grammatophyllum.—A genus of strong-growing epi- 
phytal Orchids for the warm house. G. speciosum is a 
gigantic Malayan species. 
Grobya.—Brazilian Orchids represented by G. galeata 
and G. Amherstia. Intermediate house. 
Habenaria.—Terrestrial Orchids. H. militaris and H. 
rhodocheila are bright scarlet ; H. carnea, flesh colour ; H. 
Susanna, H. Bonatea,and H. Uganda, tall-growing, green and 
white. The two latter species will grow in a cool house ; 
the others need greater warmth. The North American 
species are nearly hardy, and may be grown in a frame. 
Houlletia.—Fragrant epiphytal Orchids from South 
America. Intermediate house. 
Ionopsis.—Pretty, slender, white and lilac species. 
Grow in small baskets in the intermediate house. 
Lzlia.—One of the largest and showiest genera, great 
favourites in gardens, and fine subjects in the hands of the 
hybridiser. The Mexican species L. anceps, L. autumnalis, 
L. albida, &c., used to be allotted a special dryish inter- 
mediate house, but they are now usually grown in the 
intermediate or Cattleya house, and rested in a cooler 
vinery or corridor. All the species require the same 
treatment as Cattleya.
