History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
' 1910. Ornithocephalus. A very curious little plant, only an inch or two in height, found in Trinidad growing 
upon rotten sticks in the woods. It bears two or three green flowers, which contain a column, the upper 
extremity of which is lengthened out into a line subulate process, resembling a snipe's bill in miniature, 
whence the name, from ojv; 5;?, a bird, and zi(pa,X'^, a head. No successful method of cultivating this plant 
has yet been discovered. 
1911. Bletia. Dedicated to Luis Blet, a Spanish apothecary, who has always, as we are informed by the 
authors of the Flora Peruviana, distinguished himself in his botanical studies. Very noble plants, growing in 
the earth. 
Bletia Tankervilli£e is a common but beautiful species. The first plant which flowered in this country, 
was cultivated at Apperly Bridge, near Bradford, in Yorkshire, in May 1776, and had been sent there 
to Mrs. Hird, by her uncle. Dr. Fothergill, in a black Chinese pot full of stiff loam, in which it had been im- 
ported. Many small bulbs, with leaves like those of a snow drop, grew near the edge of the same pot in a re- 
gular circle, and these afterwards proved to be Amaryllis Aurea. The Bletia Tankervilliae delights in warmth, 
fresh loam, and plenty of water, by which treatment, and attention to fecundate the stigma, it will ripen fruit 
abundantly. 
1912. E} ia. From i^iov, wool, on account of the woolliness of the flower of all the known species. Curious 
epiphytous plants, with bulbous roots, and flowers usually of a yellowish color. They differ from Dendrobiura 
chiefly in the number of their pollen-masses, and in habit. E. stellata is a fine free-growing plant, with long 
broad fleshy leaves, and spikes of beautiful brown-yellow flowers nearly a foot and half in length. 
1913. Octomeria. So called by Mr. Brown, with reference to the eight parts, oxro, and fjci^o?, into which 
the pollen is divided. A singular little plant, with filiform leaves and small nearly solitary flowers. The 
true limits between this genus and the last remain to be determined. The two seem to be separated by 
nature. 
1914. Brasavola. Named after Antonio Musa Brasavola, an Italian botanist, born at Ferrara in 1500. 
Plants with long subulate fleshy leaves, and large white flowers. They are cultivated without difficulty in 
peat and sand, if good decomposed wood is not to be procured. 
1915. Sarcanthus. A curious genus of plants not remarkable for their beauty. Their habit is various, but 
always caulescent j their flowers either yellow or yellowish, marked with various shades of purple. The name
