The species of this genus are all very handsome
when in flower, and therefore deserve to
be in every collection of orchideous plants.
Some of the species having been introduced
only a short time, they are therefore rather
rare in collections. They should be grown in
a hot damp heat, and otherwise treated^ as the
Stanhhpea. Synomjmes: 1, Chelonanthera speciosa:

Amaryllidàceoe. It is much to be lamented
that seeds of the Collànias, as well as numerous
species of splendid Bomàreas, have not
been gathered by collectors, and remitted to
Europe. Most of them would live out of
doors in England, with a little covering in
winter of sawdust, leaves, or ashes, and probably
in the South of Europe, would require
no care, except, perhaps, watering in dry
summers. I wish that' I could excite some of
our wealthy cultivators to turn their thoughts
to the acquisition of these plants, and their
numeroiis kindred, which are profusely scattered
over the slopes of the Andes, and waste
their beauties in the woods, as yet unnoticed
by any European traveller." Herbert on Bulbous
Plants. 1837.
