and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
1895. Oncidium. From oyxo;, a tumour, on account of the callosities with which the disk of the labellum is 
covered. Among the most beautiful of epiphytous plants, conspicuous by their long loose panicles of olive- 
colored or yellow flowers. Oncidium altissimum grows to the height of three or four feet. O. Papilio, the 
curious Butterfly-plant of Trinidad, has large yellow and red blossoms poised on slender footstalks, and dancing 
about in the air like some gaudy insects. All the species are cultivated without any difficulty in almost any 
soil, with plenty of heat and moisture. 
1896. Cyrtopodium. From xvqTo?, convex, and th?, a foot, in allusion to the labellum of the original species 
These are handsome bulbous plants, growing either upon the ground or upon trees. They are rather difficult 
to manage well, and are seldom seen in collections. Their flowers, which are handsome, are rarely produced. 
1897. Ccelogyne. So named by Mr. Lindley, from sjwao?, hollow, and ymr„ a female, on account of the 
form of the stigma, which is peculiar for an Epidendrum. Some of the species, natives of Nepal, which have 
not yet been introduced into our gardens, are most beautiful bulbous epiphytes, with shining fleshy leaves, and 
spikes of gorgeous flowers proceeding from a rigid imbricated scaly base. 
1898. Macradenia. From f^cocx^o;, long, and aS'/jv, a gland, on account of the long subulate process to which 
the pollen-masses are attached. A singular little epiphyte with yellowish brown flowers. 
1899. Anisopetalum. From «, without, trro?, equal, and ynrct-Xov, a petal, on account of the inequality of the 
sepals, or petals as thev commonly called. A curious Nepal plant, with bulbous roots, and little erect spikes of 
brownish flowers. 
1900. Dendrobium. From JsvSgflv, a tree, with reference to the habit of the species in growing upon frees. 
In the woods of the East Indies they climb and twist themselves about the branches of live trees, or throw
