A FEW HINTS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDE^. 159 
been introduced many years. The flowers of this are yellow, and the labellum is 
fringed with the same coloured fringe ; and the treatment is precisely the same as 
the last. 
H. CRisTATA is a native of North America, bears yellow flowers, and 
requires the same treatment as the Jimbriata. 
LISSOCHILUS. 
L. sPECiosus. A native of the Cape of Good Hope, from whence it was 
introduced by Mr. Griflin, in 1818. To grow it to perfection, it requires the heat 
of a stove. The flower-stem rises four or more feet high, and produces abundance 
of yellow flowers j a figure of which we have prepared, and will be inserted shortly. 
The best soil is a mixture of light loam and peat. 
L. STREPTOPETALUS. This is also a native of the Cape of Good Hope, and 
was introduced in 1 820. It should be kept in a cool part of the stove, or in a 
warm situation in the greenhouse. The flower-stem grows nearly two feet high, 
and produces numerous yellow flowers. Our plants grow freely in sandy peat and 
light loam. 
NEOTTIA. 
N, GRANDiFLORA. Nonc of the Neottias are much ornament. This species is 
a native of Brazil, and of course requires the heat of the stove. The flowers are 
green, produced on a stem about a foot and a half high. The best soil is sandy 
peat and loam ; and the mode of propagation by division of the roots. 
ORCHIS. 
O. PAPiLiONACEA is a haudsomc hardy species, a native of the South of 
Europe. It has been long an inhabitant of our gardens,, and may be grown in a 
mixture of loam and peat. 
OPHRYS. 
O. ATRATA. This is a native of the South of Europe, from whence it was 
introduced so lately as 1825. The lip is a very dark purple ; and the appearance 
of the flower remarkably curious. It is nearly hardy, and should be grown in 
sandy loam ; and may be increased by separating the roots. In the winter it 
should be sheltered in a frame. 
O. TENTHREDiNiFERA. The flowcr-stcm of this grows from six to nine 
inches high. The sepals of the flowers are rose colour, and the labellum yellow with 
a brown blotch. There is also a dwarf variety, being somewhat lighter in colour. 
They are natives of Barbary, Sicily, and Corsica, and should receive the shelter of 
a frame, where they will grow well, if potted in a light sandy soil, and watered 
with care. 
O. FuscA. This is a native of Gibraltar, where roots of it were collected by 
Col. Chapman, and sent to England in 1825. It will grow in any common light 
soil, and must be sheltered in a frame or cold greenhouse. 
O. LUTEA is a native of Spain, from whence it was introduced in 1818. The 
flowers are yellow, and are produced on a stem about nine inches high. It requires 
the same treatment as the last.
