History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
Sweet directs, to " rub the pollen on the stigma." The seeds must be sown as soon as ripe, and the plants 
transplanted to where they are finally to remain, when of a small size. Several species of this genus, and of 
Orchis, were successfully cultivated by CoUinson, in his botanic garden at Mill-Hill. His method was to place 
them in a soil and situation as natural to them as possible, and to suffer the grass and herbage to grow round 
them. O. aranifera, with a little attention and management, will grow and flower freely in pots. Curtis found 
the following method successful : " take up the roots carefully when in flower ; bare them no more than is 
necessary to remove the roots of the other plants ; fill a large sized garden-pot with three parts choice loam 
moderately stiff, and one part chalk, mixed well together, and passed through a sieve somewhat finer than a 
common cinder sieve ; in this mixture place your roots at about the depth of two inches, and three inches apart ; 
water them occasionally during summer, if the weather prove dry ; at the approach of winter place the pot in 
a frame under a glass, to keep it from wet and frost, which combined, destroy the beauty of the foliage, if not 
the plant itself; in the autumn, before any of the others make their appearance, this species emerges." 
{Curtis, Fl. Lond. n. 68.) 
Salisbury says, that Ophrys muscifera, and most of its congeners, are very easily cultivated ; but require the 
purest loam from a chalky bottom, and the border to be most effectually drained ; for any permanent wet in 
summer makes them push too soon. On the hillocks and declivities where they grow wild, the slight showers 
are absorbed by the surrounding turf or long grass, and the heavy rains we usually have after midsummer- 
day run off quickly. 
1867. Chamorchis. From x<^l^^i dwarf, and Orchis. A pretty little alpine plant, exceedingly difficult to 
cultivate. Roots have been brought in dainp moss from Switzerland, but they probably have perished ere 
now. 
1868. Herminium. A name which is not explained by its author. It is the Ophrj's Monorchis of old 
botanists. 
1869. Serapias is the name of an Egyptian divinity, whose temples were notorious scenes of profligacy. In 
this sense, with reference to the uses of the plant, as also in Satyrium, the word seems to have been applied by 
Pliny. Rare herbaceous plants of the south of Europe, but cultivated in a frame. 
1870. Goodyera. So called after Mr. John Goodyer, an obscure British botanist. The species grow freely 
in sandy peat, and, unlike most of the Orchidea;, may be increased by dividing the roots,
