121. Epidendrum fragrans var. cinnamomeum. This species 
differs but little from the other, except in the flowers being 
more of a reddish brown. It requires the same treatment and 
temperature. — Native of Jamaica. 
122. Epidendrum armeniacum. (Apricot flowered.) This 
species is not so handsome as some others. Its flowers are 
rather small, and produced on a pendent raceme from four to 
six inches long, with brownish yellow flowers. It also requires 
pot cultivation in a mixture of turfy peat and sphagnum, and to 
be liberally supplied with water while growing. Temperature 
65° to 70°. — Native of Brazil. 
123. Epidendrum conopseum. (Derived from the flowers 
bearing a resemblance to gnat.) A plant with bulbous stems 
rising to about four inches high; flower-stem branched, pro¬ 
ducing a large quantity of small pale greenish-yellow T flowers. 
This species will either do on a chump of wood, or in a pot in 
a mixture of turfy peat, sphagnum, and rotten wood, but water 
rather liberally. Temperature 65°. — Native of Georgia. 
124. Epiidendrum cinnabarinum. Stem upright; growing from 
tw r o to three feet high, and producing its leaves alternately 
up the stem; flower-spike rising from the summit of the stem, 
and producing from eight to ten flowers; sepals and petals are 
a bright red or cinnamon colour. Labellum 3-lobed; the outside 
lobes much fringed or bitten, and of an orange red. This 
species requires pot cultivation in a mixture of sphagnum, rotten 
wood, and turfy peat; and should be liberally supplied with 
water in its growing season. Temperature 65° to 70°. — Native

125. Epidendrum viridi-purpureum. (Derived from the colour 
of its flowers.) This is a curious species, and is worth growing 
in every collection ; its flower-stem rising from two to three feet 
high, and producing a raceme thickly set with flowers, of which 
the sepals and petals are of a pale green, slightly tinged with 
brown; column green, tinged with purple; labellum nearly the 
same. It also requires the same treatment as the above, with a 
temperature of 65° to 70°.— Native of Jamaica. 
126. Epidendrum papillosum. (Derived from papillose, pim¬ 
pled or warty.) Plant pseudo-bulbous ; leaves narrow ; flowers 
produced from a scape or raceme. The sepals are of a yellowish 
green ; column the same, but tipped with orange ; labellum
