THE ORCHID GENERA 65 



the foliage will be within a foot of the roof, and where 

 they may be but slightly shaded at any time. Other 

 species which require an East Indian temperature are C. 

 Argus, C. bar bat um, C. Boissierianum, C. carkinum, C. 

 callosum, with its distinct and valuable variety, Sandera, 

 C* ci/io/are, C. Curtisii, C. Chamber lainianum, C. Dayanum, 

 C. glanduliferum, C. Hooker a, C. javanicum, C. longifolium, 

 C. Lawrenceanum, C. Lowii, C. Parishii, C. philippinense , 

 C. Rothschildianum, C. Sanderianum, C. Stonei, and C. 

 tonsum. Others that thrive best in the intermediate 

 house are C. Boxa/ii, C. caudatum, which has ribbon- 

 like appendages often attaining 30 inches in length, C. 

 Druryii, C. Fairieanum, C. hirsutissimum, C. insigne, and 

 its numerous distinct varieties, C. Lindleyanum, C. Master- 

 sianum, C. purpuratum, C. Schlmii, C. Charlesivorthii, C.

 The proper time to repot Cypripediums is about a fort- 

 night after they pass out of flower, as at that period 

 young growths begin to push up and the plants commence 

 to make fresh roots. Where a representative collection 

 of Cypripediums is formed, if the plants are grown clean 

 and strong, scarcely a month of the whole year will 

 elapse but some will be in bloom, the flowers of many 

 species remaining fresh for many weeks. In addition to 

 the species already named, there are many very fine 

 garden hybrids, the result of much labour, skill, and 

 patience. Lack of space forbids their enumeration here, 

 but it may be said that the majority of them are well 

 worth adding to the collection, as among them there are 

 some that are even more free in growth and blooming 

 than many of the original parent species.
