advisable to separate the Mexican Lajlias from the Peruvian Odontoglossa. Nay, I apprehend that what I call the
" Peruvian house " will itself have to be subdivided into two portions, one of which, i. e. the warm portion, will contain
such plants as the Trichopilias, the Anguloas, and such Odontoglossa as are met with below (3500 feet, while the other or
cooler portion will be suited to an innumerable multitude of glorious Orchids that are met with at a still higher
elevation. Already oultivators have discovered that 0. Phaltenopsis and 0. tuevium cannot be made to thrive in the
same house, for though both are " c o o l " plants the former—coining as it does from a lower level—requires a decidedly
warmer climate than the latter, and so it will be in many other cases which are not yet so distinctly understood.
