of mosses, remarkable for their green leaves
and spherical capsules. The genus approaches
nearly to Bo^pum, but differs in almost every
species having spherical capsules, and the sixteen
broad segments of the inner peristome, instead
of being entire, or only perforated, arfe

species of this genus are strong free-growing
plants, requiring room to spread, and, being

best ; and half-ripened cuttings root readily
under a hand-glass in moderate heat. Synonymes:

BATEMINNIA, Lindley. In compliment to

Cheshire, an ardent collector and successful
cultivator of Orchidace^e, and author of that
splendid work, the Orchidacese of Mexico
and Guatemala." Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or.
OrcMdacece. A very pretty species, well deserving
a place in every collection ; it somewhat
resembles a Maxillaria, with a pendulous
raceme of flowers from the base of the pseudobulbs
; the sepals and petals, are brownish-
• purple within, green without, and a white
abellum. It requires the same treatment as
Stanliòpea, and other similar genera.

only in Britain, where it is very rare. The
volva or wrapper, is about the size of a lien's
egg, originally in three slightly coriaceous
layers, hollow internally, which rises suddenly
to its full height of about twelve inches ; the
stalk carries up on its summit full half the
innermost layer of the volva, which is white
and smooth within, and covered externally
with copious brown sporules, intermixed with

BAUHÌNIA, Plumier. In memory of John and

Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Fabàceoe.
Showy interesting species, some of them particularly
so when in bloom ; they succeed well
in a mixture of sand, loam, and peat ; and
cvTttings taken when the wood is neither ri])e
nor very young (observing to dress oif the
leaves), and planted in sand, under a glass
in a moist heat, will strike root. The d(fied
leaves and young buds of B. tomentósa are
prescribed in dysenteric affections ; the bark
of B. variegata is used in tanning and drying
leather, and that of B. racemosa is employed
in making ropes. Synonymes : 1, B. angulna ;
