Lindley. Linn. 20, Or. 1, N a t . Or . Orchidacece.
Two species of this remarkable genus have
been figured in Lindley's splendid work, entitled—
Sertum Orchidaceum, where he makes the following
remarks:—"The genus Oberonia consists principally
of small, fleshy-leaved epiphytes, inhabiting the
branches of trees in the woods of India, and having
the most tiny of flowers. Fourteen species have
been described, of which the only, and that the
least, interesting, 0. iridifolia has been seen alive in
Europe. The resemblance to insects and other
animal forms, which have been perceived in the
Orchidaceous plants of Europe, and which have
given rise to such names as Fly Orchis, &c., may be
traced so plainly in the genus Oberonia, m every
species, that it alone would furnish a magazine of
new ideas for the grotesque pencil of a German
admirer of the wild and preternatural. If the
Brahmins had been botanists, one might have fancied
they took their doctrine of metempsychosis
from these productions. In the genera Oberoma
and Drymoda, Pythagoras would have found a living
evidence of animals transmuted into plants.
