CORYANTHES MACRANTHA. 3S 
The way of propagating it, is by taking off one or more of the bulbs, potting 
them in proper-sized pots in the above soil well drained, and placing them on 
a hot flue, being careful in watering not to allow any to rest upon the young buds. 
After they have made roots, increase the size of the pots, and in other respects 
attend to them as before described, and they will grow well and soon make flower- 
ing plants. 
The generic name is taken from korys, a helmet, and cmtkosy a flower, in allu- 
sion to the large helmet-like appendage to the lip of the flower. 
The specific name alludes to the size of the flower.
