1883. Rodriguexia. Named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, after Emanuel Rodriguez, a Spanish 
physician, and, as it is said, of considerable botanical merit. A beautiful herbaceous plant, growing upon 
decayed wood. Its flowers are placed in cernuous racemes of a lively pink color. 
1884. Gomexa. So called by Mr. Brown, in honor of Senor Gomes, a Spanish apothecary. Mr. Lindley 
thinks it not distinct from the last. A bulbous epiphyte, with drooping spikes of yellow flowers. 
1885. Cymhidium. From icvfx,^-^, a little boat, in allusion to the form of the labellum. All the genuine 
species of Cymbidium are terrestrial, and rarely are found growing upon trees. In cultivation the species grow 
in loam, chips of wood, potsherds, and other rubbish, broken small, and put in well-drained pots They are 
increased by dividing at the root. 
1886. Brassia. Named after Mr. Brass, an intelligent gardener, who collected seeds and plants in Africa for 
the Kew Garden. The two species now known are among the most beautiful of the various tribes of Epiden- 
drums. Brassia maculata has large pale yellow flowers, elegantly spotted with brown ; B. caudata has similar 
flowers, with long tails to their lower segments. 
1887. Lissochilus. From Kta-cog, smooth, and %£<Xof, a lip, in reference to the absence of callosity or crests 
from that part. An exceedingly rare and very noble plant, which grows freely in sandy loam with a little 
peat. The flowers grow in long spikes of a bright yellow color. 
1888. Geodorum. From y/i?, the earth, and hue^ov, a gift, in reference to the beauty of the blossoms lying on 
the earth. Handsome plants, succeeding with the treatment of Cymbidium. 
1889. Catasetum. Apparently a word of hybrid extraction, from xotroe,, and seta, a bristle, in allusion to the 
two long bristles or horns of the columna, which constitute one of the most remarkable characters of the genus.
