MORE HINTS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF ORCHIDEOUS PLANTS. 
MALAXIS. 
M. LiLTiFOLiA. A native of North America, perfectly hardy, and well 
deserving to be cultivated. It should be planted in a mixture of leaf mould and 
peat, and be placed in a shady situation. 
NEOTTIA. 
N. prcTA. All the Neottias require the heat of the stove. This species is 
a native of Trinidad, and grows freely in pots of leaf mould and peat. The 
flowers are green. 
N. PROCERA bears pale green flowers. It is a native of Nepal, and requires 
the heat of the stove. 
N. AUSTRALis Chinensis, hicoloT, orcJiioides, aphylla, and calcarata, all 
require the stove, and should be potted in leaf mould and peat, and must be kept 
perfectly dry while in a state of torpidity. 
OPHRYS. 
O. ALPiNA, araenifera^ apifera, fucifera, muscifera, and arachnites, are all 
hardy, very curious, and elegant in growth, and require to be planted in leaf mould 
and peat. The two former, however, require a slight shelter in winter. 
ORCHIS. 
O. LONGiBRACTEATA, vaviegata, foliosa, sulphurea, coriophora, undulata, 
acuminata^ and JRivini, should be potted in light loam and peat. They will bear 
this climate pretty well ; but it is always the safest to shelter them during winter 
from the rain and frost, in a frame. The O. longicormc, tephrosanthos,fuscescens, 
and spectahilis, are usually kept in the open air altogether. 
POGONIA. 
P. PENDULA, The flowers of this kind are pink and white. The plant is very 
diminutive, is a native of North America, and is perfectly hardy ; but is probably 
safer, in consequence of its small size. Shelter it from excessive rains, &c., in 
a cold frame. The soil is leaf mould and peat. 
PONTHIEVA. 
P. PETioLATA and GLANDULOSA. Both these species require the heat of the 
stove, and should be potted in leaf mould and peat. 
PI-IOLIDOTA. 
P. IMBRICATA is a stovc kind, of rather easy growth, thriving well in leaf mould 
and peat. 
SATYRIUM. 
S. cucuLLATUM and coritfoliitm are both very desirable kinds, having bright 
orange flowers. They are both natives of the Cape of Good Hope, and require the 
protection of the greenhouse, and to be potted in sandy peat earth. 
SAUROGLOSSUM. 
S. ELATUM. This is a stove plant, requiring precisely the same kind of treat- 
ment as the Neottias.
