fluence of the light and heat of the sun during summer. It 
must be remembered that I do not now speak of their being 
crowded into a dark and shaded corner during any of this time, 
as though they were regarded to be mere common place shrubs, 
which would thrive under any treatment; on the contrary, I am 
rather considering that the operations I have hinted at, as well 
as the manifold others of routine practice, such as watering, 
destroying insects, plunging, &c. are really attended to, just as 
they would be in the case of a new Pelargonium, a Calceolaria, 
or any other favorite. It cannot reasonably be expected that 
Roses will rank among these as specimens of culture, unless 
they are also permitted to rank with them as objects of care and 
attention ; and if this care and attention be bestowed, they are 
calculated far to surpass them.

LIST OF ORCHIDEiE. 
(Continued from page 90.) 
21. Burlingtonia Rigida. (Derived from the stiffness of its 
leaves.) Plant bulbous, inclosed between two leaflets, with a 
single leaf on the apex of the bulb four inches long and better 
than one inch broad, crisp, and rather a lanceolate form ; from 
the base of the bulb rises a stem one foot long, and producing a 
plant at the apex. It should be placed on a large block of 
wood, or in a round basket made of bark, so that it may be 
curled round its outside; and as its growth is rapid, it should 
be placed in a dry and cool part of the house when at rest, as 
it is subject to making fresh shoots instead of flower spikes. 
When growing, it requires a temperature of 70 to 80°.— Native 
of Brazil. 
22. Burlingtonia Maculatum. Plant small; its flowers are 
produced singly and are much spotted, (from which it takes its 
name.) It does well on a chump of wood, with the same treat¬ 
ment and temperature as the other.— Native of Brazil. 
23. Burlingtonia Venustum. This plant is of a very dark, 
green, its leaves are long and narrow, and its flowers are ex¬ 
ceedingly handsome. It requires the same treatment as the 
others. The whole of this genus should be in every collection. 
— Native of Brazil. 
24. Brassia Verrucosa. (Derived from its- labellum being 
waited.) Plant robust in growth, bulbs four inches long and 
two inches thick, tapering a little to the apex; leaves in pairs, 
sixteen inches long and two inches broad, raceme pendant, pro-
