PAXTON' S FLOWER GARDEN.

§ 4. EUDENDROBIUM. 



The centre of the genus, rich in species, among which are several of considerable beauty, although 

 not of the greatest. They have long leafy stems, erect or pendulous, and flowers in lateral pairs or 

 rarely in threes, with no trace of the feathery or tufted lip of the last section. Two divisions are 

 conveniently made by attending to the form of the lip. 



A . Lip undivided.

 hamii Id. 72. D. Luzonense Id. 73. D. tridentiferum Id. 74. D. tetraedre Lindl. 



§ 5. PEDILONUM. 



The habit of Eudendrobium, together with flowers in racemes, diminutive petals, and a long 

 narrow naked lip, distinguishes this small group, among which the beauty of J), secundum, typifies 

 that of the remainder. 



75. D. secundum Wallich. 76. D. erosum Lindley. 77. D. hymenophyllum Id. 78. D. Kulilii Id. 79. D. 

 Hasseltii Id. 80. D. Reinwardtii Id. 



§ 6. STACHYOBIUM. 



At this point the genus assumes its greatest development, and consequently its most conspicuous 

 brilliancy. Yellow is a prevailing colour. The species would merge in Pedilonwn, if it were not 

 for the large full-grown petals, and broad dilated lip, which in some cases runs inwards into a kind 

 of sock or pouch. Two divisions are again obtainable here, by observing the differences in the forin 

 of the lip.
