Mendelii) makes its growth during 

 late summer and autumn, resting until 

 spring, and flowering in early summer. 

 These crosses flower upon their nearly 

 finished pseudo-bulbs, tending in this 

 respect more to the pollen parent than 

 to Cattleya Mendelit. 



The Laelio-Cattleyas are best grown 

 in pots or pans, and this plant is best 

 potted when the new growth is from 4 to 

 6 inches high, which is generally in the 

 autumn; even when as late as October, 

 before making its new growth, it is best 

 to repot at once in fresh soil, which 

 rarely fails to draw new roots.

Patagonian Vegetation. — The vegetation 

 of Fuegia is most curious, its chief character- 

 istic being the immense jungle of scrub and 

 brush. The trees are not large nor close to one 

 another, andso there is no appearance of forest. 

 Beeches are common, but are stunted, owing 

 to the vast debris oi old vegetation. Among the 

 creeping plants grow large bunches of Mistle- 

 toe right up the trunks of the trees. The islands 

 at the west end of the Straits of Magellan are 

 exceedingly rich in plants, consisting mainly 

 1 of brush; in the east the land is low and covered 

 with Grasses and low herbage, the trees being 

 less tall. The general features of the vegeta- 

 tion is like that of the southern partsof Norway 

 and Sweden. The temperature only changes 

 by a few degrees, and vegetables from other 

 lands will not seed, owing to the slight sum- 

 mer heat.
