This interesting genus embraces a number of pretty and distinct species from Borneo, Cochiu China, India, Java and Manila. They are closely allied to the genera Aerides, Phalsenopsis and Vanda, and require somewhat similar treatment, but do not always acclimatize them- selves as readily to artificial cultivation unless given a location with more or less natural 's, rlioiiijh some of the more free-growing spt-i-ir,. hk, .s. ,,un'iil- laceum, *S'.

The hiru^' ;\iii- -piriis with thick, succulent leaves require a warm, iijuist atiuos- phere where the winter can be retained at (J5° to 70° F. by night and about 7d° during the day, and in the summer or growing season 10 degrees in advance of this. All succeed best when suspended from the roof in pans, baskets or on blocks where they can have free circulation of air about them at all times, receive indi- rect benefit of the sun's influence, which will harden their tissue, and where the compost may readily and frequently dry out, during the resting period especially. Grown otherwise the more succulent species, such as *'. qiyanteum (a Vanda), make soft, weak tissue, which is su
