CATASETUM 
(Intermediate) 
(From kata, downwards, and seta, a bristle; re¬ 
ferring to the position of the two horns of the col¬ 
umn.) A curious and interesting genus. The flow¬ 
ers have an extraordinary polymorphism, sometimes 
as many as three different forms occurring on the 
same plant. Another curiosity is the manner in 
which the pollen masses are ejected with great vio¬ 
lence when one of the horns of the column is 
touched. They are best grown suspended from the 
roof of a warm house; being very rapid growers 
they must have a very liberal supply of water when 
growing. A decided rest is taken after the growth 
is finished. Repot when new growth commences.

CATTLEYA (Species) 
(Warm) 
(Named in honour of W. Cattley, a great patron 
of botany and horticulture.) This fine genus has 
been extremely useful to the hybridist, and for that 
purpose fine varieties are sought after by the plant 
breeder. Their cultural requirements need rather 
more skilled attention than the more robust hybrids 
which have been produced by linking them up with 
Brassavola, Laelia, Sophronitis, etc. The following 
hints, however, may be applied to the whole family 
of Catt,eyas and their allied genera. 
A genial growing atmosphere with a temperature 
of about 60 degrees to 65 Fahrenheit at night, rising 
up to 80 degrees or more during the day-if by 
sun heat-may be aimed at during their growing 
season; after their growths are made up more air 
and less water at the roots should be given to them 
to enable them to take a rest. Repotting should be 
undertaken when new roots are pushing from the 
base of the last made growth. A good compost is 
Osmunda Fibre.
