and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
presume, Mr. Lindley has constructed the name. No explanation, however, of his names is ever given by this 
author, who seems to attach too little importance to the etymology of botany. 
1905. Broughtonia. Named by Brown, in the Hortus Kewensis, without explanation. A handsome plant, 
with fine scarlet flowers. It is very rare, and cultivated with little success. 
1906. Cattleya. Named by Mr. Lindley, after William Cattley, Esq. a munificent encourager of botany, and 
his early friend. A superb genus of bulbous epiphytes, with fleshy leaves growing in pairs, and large violet or 
yellow flowers. 
1907. Epidendrum. From £«, upon, and SsvS^av. All the species are found naturally growing upon 
trees, not however, as De Theis tells us, sucking their sap, by insinuating their little roots beneath the 
bark, but vegetating in the soil which collects upon the forks of the branches. Many of the species have 
singular flower*, but none of those in the gardens are remarkable for their beauty. They are generally 
cultivated with less diflSculty than most other epiphytes. Salisbury tells us, Epidendrum ciliare should be planted 
in pots, filled with porous stones, a few decayed leaves, and knobs of bark taken fresh from the woods : but 
it requires very little water ; and if the leaves turn yellow, it is a sign that they have either too much wet, or 
too much sun. With such treatment, by keeping four or five pots of it, the stove will be enlivened with their 
long tubular flowers, slowly succeeding one another, at most periods of the year. It is easily propagated by 
dividing its stems. 
1908. Polystachya. From ■roXv?, many, and s-otxui, a spike, on account of the compound nature of the 
inflorescence. Inconspicuous plants, requiring the treatment applied to similar kinds. 
1909. Crtjptarrhena. A pretty little stemless epiphyte with distichous leaves, and neat yellow flowers. It 
was named by Mr. Brown, from n^vrTO?, concealed, and a.s^-/iv, a male, on account of the hooded apex of the 
column which covers up the anther. The plant is believed' to be now lost to the gardens.
