C(EL0GYNE (hollow pistil). Orchiddcea, tribe Epi-dhidrew. A genus of useful plants, all pseudobulbous,found in tropical Asia growing on trees and on and petals membranaceous, labellum large, cucul-late with 2, 3 or more longitudinal ridges; column erect,winged, membranaceously margined at and toward theapex; poUinia 4. The hotanicsd det&ilsot C<elogyne spe-ciosa are shown in Fig. 513. At the top is a general CCELOGYNE view of the flower. Below, on the left, is the column,front and side view. In the center is the lip, with theeoluran lying along its top. Below the lip, on the left,is the stigma. To the right, on the bottom row, are thepoUinia, front and back view; and at the right centerare separate pollen masses. Ccelogynes may be grown in pots, pans or baskets,but it is hardly advisal)le to undertake growing them on. 513.

Ccelogynes, as a rule, do not care tobe disturbed; therefore, it is a good plan not to repotuntil the plants have outgro%vn the pots or baskets, orthe old compost has become exhausted. They should bepotted then in a compost consisting of equal parts freshsphagnum moss and fibrous peat, to which maybe addeda little broken charcoal. The pot^s or baskets to be usedshould have a good supply of crocks, so that the -watermay pass away freely, otherwise the compost would soonbecome sour. A good time to repot or top-dress is justafter the flowering season. When r
