GENERA AND SPECIES tos 
Sophronitis.—A dwarf genus, best known by S. grandi- 
flora, which has scarlet flowers, and has been used for 
crossing with Lelias and Cattleyas. All the species are 
cool-house plants, needing cultivation in pans or baskets 
suspended from the roof. The hybrids succeed best in the 
intermediate house. 
Spathoglottis.—Terrestrial Orchids of similar growth 
to Bletia, requiring a pronounced resting period. Inter- 
mediate house. Rest dry. 
Stanhopea.—A fine genus, with large, pendulous, wax- 
like flowers of aromatic odour. They should be grown in 
baskets in the intermediate house. Rest rather dry in a 
cool house or vinery. 
Stauropsis.—Stauropsis should be grown with Aérides 
and Vandas. The genus is best known in gardens by S. 
lissochiloides (Vanda Batemanii) and S. gigantea. 
Stelis.—The plants in this genus possess similar growth 
to the dwarf Pleurothallis, and require the same treatment. 
Stenoglottis.—S. fimbriata and S. longifolia are South 
African terrestrial Orchids, needing similar conditions to 
Disa. 
Tetramicra (Leptotes)— Dwarf species with white 
flowers, having rose labellums. Intermediate house. 
Thunia.—A section of Phaius with erect, terete stems 
and deciduous leaves. Grow them in a warm and moist 
house, but keep them cool and dry during the resting 
period. 
Trichocentrum. — Dwarf, evergreen South American 
Orchids. Grow in pans suspended in a shady part of the 
intermediate house. 
Trichopilia—An ornamental, epiphytal genus, includ-
