Dendrobium. — An extensive and showy genus of 

 epiphytes, among the most useful for gardens. The 

 deciduous species, such as D. nobile, require a long rest 

 after growth; the intermediate evergreen' species, such 

 as D. densiflorum, a shorter rest in a cool place, but 

 not to be severely dried; and the warm-house species to 

 be retained in a fairly warm temperature, even while 

 resting, the necessary check being given by withholding 

 water after the growths are matured.
