To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Flowers yellowish purple ; lip large, of rich, deep pur- pie. There are more than fifty species of this genus. The following are good species : Cymbidium chloranthum. B. M. , 4907. C. Dependens. Lodd. Cab. , 936. SYN. Cirrhoea dependens. C. Finlaysonianum. C. Gibsonii. C. Iridifolium. B. R. , 1839. DESCRIPTIVE LIST. 22/ C. Lancifolium. Hook. Ex. 5 1 ; Lodd. Cab. , 927. C. Marginatum. B. R. , 1530. C. Ochroleuchum. B. R. , 4141. C. Virescens. C. Xiphifolium. B. R. , 529. Though these plants are ...in many instances epiphytal, they succeed much better in cultivation if treated as ter- restrial Orchids, and grown in pots, in a rich compost of lumpy peat, through which the large roots can readily penetrate. They require, when in growth, an abundance of water, a moist heat, and sun ; but when at rest should be kept in a dryer atmosphere, but the soil must never dry up. They are generally of large habit, with stately foliage. The flowers are showy but generally not high- colored. In a large collection a good assortment should be grown, but for a small one Cymbidium Mastersii is the best, Cymbidium eburneum being still a very rare plant.
