About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1832. Excerpt: ... moist, friable, rich, but not manured, earth, in rather 6hady situations. The species of Epidendrum are all, perhaps, parasitical, insinuating their roots into the bark of aged trees." "Orchidea are extremely difficult of culture." We refrain from transcribing the ideas of Linnaeus on this subject, as it is now known that some of these plants may be propagated by seed, and that several succeed very well in our stoves, among the rotten bark of trees, accompanied by fresh vegetable mould.

Leaves lanceolate, quite entire, even, stalked, convoluted contrary to the direction of the sun; their stalks sheathing the stem.
