ducing a number of flowers, greenish, white, and spotted, and 
iabellum warted where the spots are. This will thrive either on 
a chump of wood or in a pot, in a mixture of sphagnum, turfy 
peat and rotten wood, and in a temperature of 65°. Worthy 
of a place in every collection.— Native of Mexico. 
25. Brassia Lanceanum . Plant bulbous, about four inches 
long and nearly two inches broad, leaves nearly one foot long; 
raceme rising from the base of the bulb. Flowers yellow, 
spotted with brown, and very fragrant. This species should be 
potted in a mixture of turfy peat, sphagnum moss, and rotten 
wood ; it being of a very tender habit, it should be placed in the 
hottest and dampest parts of the house. A temperature of 70° 
suits it.— Native of Surinam. 
26. Brassia Caudatum. This plant has nearly the same 
habit as the last, and will thrive in the same treatment and tem¬ 
perature.— Native of Guiana. 
27. Brassivola Glauca. (Derived from the colour of its 
leaves.) This plant is quite different to any of the rest of its 
genus on account of its producing bulbs nearly three inches 
long, and round leaves, broad, flat, and fleshy. It should be 
grown in a pot, with a mixture of turfy peat, sphagnum, and 
rotten leaves, in equal quantities ; also in lx temperature of 65°. 
—Native of Mexico . 
28. Brassivola Nodosa. (Derived from knotted.) Plant 
destitute of bulbs; leaves rush-like, drooping, from one to two 
feet long; flowers single, sepals and petals greenish-white, la- 
bellum white, it should be placed in a basket, in a mixture of 
sphagnum, turfy peat, and rotten wood ; requires an abundant 
supply of water when growing, and a temperature of 70°.— 
Native of Brazil . 
29. Cattleya Intermedia. Stem bulbous, six inches long, 
surmounted by slender leaves, in pairs, three inches long. 
Flower-stalk smooth, sepals and petals delicate light rose, 
column rose colour, streaked with purple, Iabellum paler than 
the sepals. Should be potted in a mixture of sphagnum, turfy 
peat, and rotten wood ; succeeds in a temperature of 65°. With 
this for an average, they will both grow stronger and produce 
finer flowers than if kept in a higher temperature. — Native of 
Rio Janeiro. 
30. Cattleya Loddigesii. (Named after Messrs. Loddiges, 
most successful cultivators of this tribe.) Plant similar in 
habit to the above. The sepals and petals are a rich rose 
colour, tinged with blueish-purple, and slightly spotted with dark 
purple; the Iabellum is lighter on the outside, but within is 
marked with yellow and purple. This requires the same treat¬ 
ment and temperature as the others.— Native of Brazil.
