An interesting genus ; several of the greenhouse
species are very pretty flowering shrubs,
and grow well in a mixture of peat and loam,
and may be increased by cuttings or seeds,
which ripen in abundance ; the Iierbaceons
species are some of them best grown in pots,
such as C. coronàta and minima, as they require
the protection of a frame in severe
weather ; increased by seeds or dividing at the
roots : the hardy annual kinds only require
to be sown in the open ground. Synonymes :

CORYANTIIES, Iloolcer. From korys, a helmet,

Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Oi\ OrcMdàceoe. The
species of this genus ought to be extensively
cultivated, because of their splendid and very
curiously-formed flowers. The most extraordinary
species of tliis genus is G. macrdntha,
of which the following is an abridged description,
extracted from the Botanical Register.
'^The plant has the habit of a Stanlihpca, and
pushes forth from the base of its pseudo-bulbs
a pendulous scape, on wdnch two or three
flowers are developed ; each flower is placed at
the end of a long, stiff", cylindrical-furrowed
ovary, and when expanded, measures some-
COR 359 COE
thing more than six inches from the tip of one
sepal to that of the opposite one. The sepals
and petals are nearly of the same colour, being
of an oelirey yellow, spotted irregularly with
dull purple. The lip is as ileshy and solid in
its texture as tlie sepals and petals are delicate
; it is seated on a deep purple stalk,
nearly an inch long ; this stalk terminates in
a hemispherical greenish-purple cup or cap ;
and the latter contracting at its front edge,
extends forward into a sort of second stalk of
a very vivid blood-colour, the sides of which
are thinner than the centre, turned back, and
marked with four or Ave very deep, solid,
sharp-edged plaits. These edges again expand
and form a second cup, less lobed than the
first, thinning away very much to the edges,
of a broadly conical figure, with a diameter of
at least two inches at the orifice ; this second
cnp is of an ochrey yellow, streaked and
spotted with pale crimson, and seems intended
to catch a watery secretion, which drips into
it from two succulent horns, taking their
origin in the base of the column, and hanging
over the centre of the cup."—Bot. Reg. vol.
xxii. t. 1841. The genus requires the same
treatment as is recommended for Stanhbpea.
