LIST OF ORCHIDEk.

13. Angrcecum Cauditum. (Derived from the tail-like ap¬ 
pearance of its flowers.) This plant is also destitute of bulbs ; 
the leaves are six inches long, and rather better than one inch 
broad, of a shining green ; the roots are strong, fleshy, white, 
delighting to grow on a rough chump of wood, with a little moss 
tied round it, and should be plentifully supplied with water when 
growing. Temperature 70°.— Native of Sierra Leone. 
14. Angrcecum Subulatum. So named from the leaves being 
awl-shaped. It is also destitute of bulbs, but differs from any 
of the rest of the genus, as its growth is rather shrubby, sending 
forth numerous side branches. This will do well either on wood 
or in a pot, in a mixture of sphagnum and turfy peat, and in a 
temperature of 70°; it is a plant of no beauty. (The sphagnum, 
or water-moss, should always be well chopped before used.)— 
Native of Sierra Leone. 
15. Angrcecum Distichium. (Derived from two-ranked.) This 
is also destitute of bulbs, but a curious little trailing plant, en¬ 
tirely different from any of the rest of its genus, on account of 
its stem being covered with two rows of leaves, from which it 
takes its specific name. The flowers rise from the joints of the 
wood betwixt the leaves, which are numerous, and of a pure 
white. This will do better hanging up in a small basket made 
of oyster shells fastened together by wire, in a mixture of 
sphagnum, turfy peat, and rotten wood, in equal quantities, and 
in a temperature of 70°. — Native of Sierra Leone. 
16. Asoidium Fuscum, or Trichocentrum Fuscum. (Derived 
from the colour of its sepals and petals.) This plant is desti¬ 
tute of bulbs, but much like Oncidium pubescens in the growth 
and size, except that the leaves are bright green, the raceme 
trailing, seldom having two flowers open at a time, but still a 
profuse bloomer ; the sepals and petals are of a brownish colour, 
the labellum shell-shaped and nearly white, with small stripes. 
It should be elevated in a pot, on account of its drooping 
flowers, in a mixture of sphagnum, turfy peat, and rotten wood, 
in equal quantities, also in a temperature of 70°.— Native of 
Brazil. 
17. Aporum Anceps. (Derived from two-edged-stemmed.) 
This is a curious plant, and does well on a log of wood; the 
flowers are yellowish-green. It is known also as Dendrobium 
anceps, It requires a temperature of 70°.— Native of Bengal. 
18. Batemannia Colleyii. This genus is named in compli¬ 
ment to J. Bateman, Esq., a zealous collector and cultivator of 
this tribe of plants. The specific name is after Mr. Colley, who 
collected for the above gentleman. This is a most curious plant; 
the pseudo-bulbs are dark green, four inches long, and nearly 
an inch in diameter, of a tetrangular form ; the leaves are long, 
and rather broad; the flowers rise up with the young shoots,
