128 A FEW HINTS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF ORCHIDEOUS EPIPHYTES. 
dry moss, and if kept free from moisture during their voyage, there would be a 
great probability of their arriving safe. 
These plants are very liable to be infested by woodlice, which if not quickly 
eradicated, would soon destroy the plants by eating off the ends of the roots. 
The following select list for those who have not large conveniences, or who 
wish only to possess the very choicest kinds, will very likely be found useful. It 
will be seen that we have not included any terrestrial kinds, as the Disa grandiflora, 
Peristeria elata, &c. ; these must be deferred to a future opportunity, and will be 
the subject of a few more remarks. 
The greater part of the kinds in the following list may be obtained at Messrs. 
Loddiges, Nurserymen, Hackney ; Lowe's, Nurseryman, Clapton ; Knight, King's 
Road, Chelsea, and Rollison, Tooting. Some of the more common kinds may be 
purchased at from ten to twenty shillings each, others at from two to three pounds, 
whilst others would cost from five to ten pounds each, and some are scarcely to be 
met with at any price, except in private collections. 
I have added the synonyms to all the plants which have more names than one ; 
this appears to be useful to a purchaser, because it will prevent many mistakes and 
much useless anxiety ,• for when a plant has three or four names, an admirer of 
these kind of plants might expend a large sum to purchase a plant different in 
name from any which he possessed, and after he has anxiously waited for some 
time to see it in flower, may prove to be only the same plant he already had under 
another name.
