Linn. 20, O r . 1, N a t . Or. Orchidaceoi. R. coccínea
is a t r u l y splendi d plant. The flowers are produced
on a lateral loose panicle; the sepals are of a pale
s c a r l e t , obscurely and irregularly blotched; the
p e t a l s a r e marked wi t h yellow bands on a beautiful
s c a r l e t g round; the label lum is yel low and scarlet.
T h e plant will succeed in peat mixed wi t h broken
p o t s h e r d s , carefully p laced about the roots, so as to
e n s u r e a safe d r a i n a g e ; but the best way of growing
i t , is to plant it in sphagnum or hypnum moss, cut
short and packed close about the roots, with a
q u a n t i t y of broken potsherds to act as a drainage.
Any of the young branches taken off and potted in
moss will soon make plants, which succeed well in
a n y place wher e a strong heat and an abundance of
m o i s t u r e is k ept u p ; when the plant has at tained a
good size, about the height of six feet , it should be
placed in a house wher e the heat is from 65 to 70
d e g r e e s , and kept perfectly free from moisture,
except what arises from watering and occasional
s y r i n g i n g . The whole of the plant should be as
n e a r the glass and as much exposed to the sun as
p o s s i b l e ; and to p r e v e n t the leaves f rom shrivelling
t o o much, it maybe occasionally syringed in the

RESÈDA, Linn. From resedo, to calm or appease ; the

M i g n o n e t t e is an old and universal favourite, on
account of the very pleasant odour emitted by the
flowers. In summer it merel y requires the treatment
of other hardy annuals; but to obtai n floweri
n g plants through the winter and spring months,
two other sowings mus t be made ; to obtai n floweri
n g plants from December to March, the seeds
should be sown about the middle of Jul y upon a
l i g h t , rich, open border, and the plants potted
b e f o r e the frost sets in, p lunged in old tan or Hshes,
and covered by a frame, which should front the
w e s t . Those to flower from March to J u n e , should
be sown in pots not later than the third week in
A u g u s t , and treated in a manner similar to the
November sowing. The third, or spring crop to
succeed the last, may be sown about the middl e of
F e b r u a r y ; these should be placed in a f r ame ina
g e n t l e heat , and the i)lants thus obtained will b e in
p e r f e c t i o n by the end of May. The sufi^riiticose
species may be increased by cuttings or seeds.
