ANGULdA (dedicated to Don Francisco de Angulo). Orchi(lAce(p,tTihe Vdndece. Pseudobulbs rathertall (when old 1, spinose at the summits with the remnants of leaf Teins : leaf-blades 1-2 ft. long, prominently nerved, as in Acineta, Stanhopea and Lyeaste : fls. large, sub- globular, on erect scapes : habit similar to Lyeaste, which is a member of the same sub-tribe. The Anguloas grow under shade of trees in leaf-mold. Some growers find that they do well when placed under vines. They are coolhouse orchids, but require a moderate rise in temperature during the growing season. Oakes Ames. Anguloa is a very interesting genus of cool orchids that thrive well in an ordinary greenhouse t^emperature, in which a minimum of 50° can be maintained. They are natives of the Andes of Colombia and Peru. The popular name of "Boat Orchid" somewhat suggests their shape and general appearance, the lip, being delicately hinged at its base, allowing this organ to oscillate when shaken. A. Clowesii is the best known as well as the most decorative species, its color being clear yel- low. A. Bm-keri is similar in structiire, but the fls. are chocolate-brown, with a decided aromatic fragrance, resembling Anise. There is also a white varietv of A. Cioii-exii, but it is very rare in cultivation, as arc all of the white forms
