Epidendrum aromaticum — 



alatum — 



aloefolium 1837 Mexico. 



All the epidendrese will do well in pots, with 

 turfy peat ; the pots should be shallow, or if other- 

 wise they should be filled up nearly to the top 

 with potsherds. Ep. aloefolium and tibicinum will 

 require to be put on logs of wood, as they do not 

 answer well in pots or baskets. All these species 

 of this genus here inserted are beautiful. 



Trichopilia tortilis 1835 Mexico. 



This does well either in a pot or basket, with 

 turfy peat and sphagnum. 



Galeandra Baneri 1837 Mexico. 



This will also do well in a pot or basket, or even 

 on a log of wood. It is 1 a splendid plant, and de- 

 serves the greatest care in cultivation. 



Cyrtopodium Andersonii 1804 West Indies. 



punctatum 1834 Demerara. 



These require the same treatment as Catasetum.
