History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1921. Angrcecum. A latinized form of the Malay appellation angrec, which is bestowed upon all epiphytous 
plants. This is a pretty genus, remarkable for the distinct spur to the lip. A. maculatum has handsome flat 
fleshy spotted leaves, and varies with flowers of a delicate pink and of a pale green color. A. luridum is an 
exceedingly rare species, with plaited leaves and conical bulbs covered with the vestiges of former leaves. A. 
falcatum is a little Japanese plant, whose flower has a spur nearly as long as the plant itself It is easily grown 
among loose moss in a warm damp place, but there should always be some bits of rotten wood mixed among 
the moss for the tender roots to adhere to. 
1922. Aeranthes. A word with the same meaning as Aerides. Fine Madagascar plants. A. sesquipedalis, 
which has not yet blossomed, bears in its own country very large white flowers, with a spur a foot and half in 
length. The species are not caulescent as in Aerides, and the flowers appear singly, or two or three together, 
not in long racemes. 
1923. Calanthe. From xkXc?, beautiful, and av^o;, a flower. The genus consists of robust terrestrial, not 
epiphytous, plants, with long plaited leaves, and fine white flowers, remarkable for the curious conformation 
of the labellum. They are easily cultivated as Cymbidium. 
1924. Stelis. This was the Greek name of some parasitical plant found growing upon trees. The modern 
genus consists of little inconspicuous "West Indian plants, with solitary leaves, and minute green flowers dis- 
posed in long filiform axillary spikes. They are not very easily managed ; the best mode of cultivation is to 
plant them in very rotten wood with a little moss about them, and to keep them in a hot damp stove. 
1925. Malaxis. From f^aXot^is, softness, in allusion to the delicate texture of the genuine species. They are 
natives of moist places in marshes, and are scarcely capable of successful cultivation. 
1926. Prescotia. So called by Lindley in compliment to his friend John Prescot, Esq., an English gentleman 
resident at St. Petersburgh, and highly distinguished for his botanical acquirements. A curious little plant, 
with long spikes of green flowers. It is easily cultivated in peat and sand. 
1927. Microstylis. From f^tx^n;, little, and o-tuXos, a column, on account of the minuteness of the columna. 
Little bog plants, resembling Malaxis in habit and manner of growth. 
1928. Liparis Probably derived from Xivcc^o;, unctuous, in allusion to the surface of the leaves of the 
original species, L. Loeselii. This genus consists of plants varying somewhat in habit, but agreeing in having 
pale green or greenish purple flowers, in terminal spikes or racemes. Part of the species are terrestrial, 
requiring the treatment of Malaxis ; the remainder are epiphytes. 
1929. Calypso. A poetical name, from xocXwroj, to conceal ; not merely alluding to the covering of the 
stigma, but preserving an analogy between this botanical beauty, so difficult of access, and the secluded goddess, 
whose isle was fabled to be protected miraculously from the observation of navigators. 
1930. Vanilla. An alteration of vaynilla, which is a diminutive of vaina, a Spanish word, signifying a 
sheath. The fruit is a long cylindrical pod, very like the sheath of a knife. Vanilla aromatica produces the 
fruit of that name, which is used in England to flavor chocolate, and in Spanish America for that purpose, for 
perfuming snuffs, and as a medicine. The Spaniards have three different sorts, which they distinguish in com-
