CiRRHOPETALUM, Lindley. From cirrhus, a tendril, 
and petalon, a peteil; in allusion to the form of 
the flowers. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacea. 
C. Thouarsii is a most singular species, with long, 
strap-shaped sepals, growing from one side of the 
flowers, wffiile the petals are very small, yellow, 
spotted finely with red. The rhizoma of this spe- 
cies elongates very much, and is in a growing state 
always at the extremity ; on this account it is re- 
quisite, in potting, to keep the active part nearest 
the side of the pot from which it grows away. The 
other species have much smaller flowers, without 
anything striking about them. For culture, &c., 
they may be referred to Stanhopea.
