the autumn, it may be removed to the greenhouse, where it will still
continue flowering for several weeks. Seeds may be sown in a gentle
hotbed, early in the spring, and, when large enough, planted out in

necessary, by the addition of sand. Increased by cuttings, made of
half-ripened shoots in summer, placed in sandy soil, under a bell
glass, in a gentle bottom heat; or by layers. Seeds may be sown in
March, in heat. Brachysemas require thorough drainage, whether grown
in pots or planted out. _B. latifolium_ does best under the latter
treatment, when it forms a magnificent climber for pillars or the roof.

spadix whitish, with female flower at the base, and above
contiguous to them are the males without any intermediate neutral
flowers; anthers orange red; the naked apex of the spadix is very
long, wrinkled, and pitted on the surface. _l._ solitary, 18in.
across; the spotted petiole divides at the top into three main
divisions, each of which is again forked and deeply pinnately cut;
the segments alternate, sessile, or decurrent, very unequal in

absolutely necessary. Propagated by seeds. During summer, they may be
removed to the greenhouse, and can be employed with much success for
sub-tropical gardening.
=B. dulcis= (sweet).* _l._ nearly circular, bright shining green;

=BRASSAVOLA= (named in honour of A. M. Brassavola, a Venetian
botanist). ORD. _Orchideæ_. A genus of epiphytal orchids, requiring
the heat of an intermediate house. Flowers large, usually with narrow
acuminate greenish petals and sepals, and a white lip, which is
sometimes broad; column having a pair of great falcate ears on each
side of the front, and eight pollen masses. Leaves solitary, succulent.
They are of easy culture on blocks of wood, with a little moss,
suspended from the roof. Water should be plentifully given during the
growing season; at other times, a very small quantity will suffice.
About seventeen or eighteen species have been introduced, of which the
following only are worth growing:
=B. acaulis= (stemless). _fl._ large; sepals and petals long,
narrow, greenish and creamy-white; lip large, heart-shaped, and
pure white; base of tube spotted with dull rose. September. _l._
very narrow, rush-like. _h._ 4in. Central America, 1852. (P. F. G.
ii., 152.)
=B. Digbyana= (Digby's).* _fl._ solitary, 4in. across, produced
from the top of the bulb; sepals and petals creamy-white; lip same
colour, streaked with purple down the centre, and beautifully
fringed. Winter. _h._ 9in. Honduras, 1844. A compact-growing
evergreen. (B. M. 4474.)
=B. Gibbsiana= (Gibbs's).* _fl._ white, spotted with chocolate,
large, three on each spike. _l._ rather broad and very thick. This
rare, erect-growing species must be potted in peat and sphagnum.
=B. glauca= (glaucous).* _fl._ solitary, produced from a sheath at
the top of the bulb; sepals and petals yellow; lip orange, with a
white throat. Early spring. _l._ of a milky-green. _h._ 1ft. Vera
Cruz, 1837. A very handsome fragrant species, somewhat difficult
to flower, but this obstacle may be overcome by liberally growing
during the proper season, and giving it a severe dry rest. (B. M.
4033.)
=B. lineata= (lined).* _fl._ large, very fragrant; sepals and
petals creamy-white; lip large, pure white. _l._ long, terete,
channelled above, tapering to a point, very deep green. South

=B. venosa= (veined).* _fl._ small and compact; sepals and petals
cream-coloured; lip white, strongly veined. A pretty free flowering
species. Honduras, 1839. (B. R. 26, 39.)
=BRASSIA= (named after Mr. William Brass, who was sent by Sir Joseph
Banks to Cape Coast and the neighbouring districts as a botanical
collector, at the end of the last century). ORD. _Orchideæ_. A genus
of tropical American orchids, very nearly allied to _Oncidium_, with
which, indeed, Reichenbach unites it. From this genus, however,
_Brassia_ may be distinguished by its simple inflorescence, elongated
tail-like sepals, and short column, which is quite destitute of the
side lobes or ears that form a marked feature in the species of
_Oncidium_. There are about seventeen species, of which many are not
sufficiently attractive to deserve the cultivator's attention. They
will succeed either in pots or in baskets, the drainage of which must
be perfect. They require to be potted in good fibrous peat, broken in
pieces not less in size than a walnut, placed in the warm end of a
Cattleya or Brazilian house, and supplied liberally with water during
summer. In winter, they must still be kept in a tolerably warm place,
and given sufficient water to keep the pseudo-bulbs from shrivelling.
It is useless to dry off until shrivelling takes place, for experience
assures us that when a plant shrivels it is generally safe to assume
that it has been tried beyond its powers of endurance, and that its
constitution has given way. Propagated by dividing the plants, when
growth has commenced.
=B. antherotes= (brilliant).* _fl._ 7in. in diameter from tip to
tip of the sepals; sepals and petals yellow, brownish-black at the
base, narrow, 1/8in. broad, tapering; petals 1-1/2in. long; lip
triangular, yellow, barred with brown; spike strong, about 2ft. in
length. Tropical America, 1879.
=B. caudata= (tailed).* _fl._, sepals and petals yellow, barred
with brown, from 4in. to 6in. long; lip broad and yellow, spotted
with greenish-brown. When the plant is large and healthy, it
produces numerous drooping spikes, 18in. long, and many-flowered.
_h._ 1ft. West Indies, 1823 (B. R. 832.)
=B. Gireoudiana= (Gireoud's). _fl._, sepals and petals bright
yellow, spotted and blotched with deep red, produced in
many-flowered scapes of singular and beautiful flowers during
spring and early summer. This species much resembles _B. Lanceana_,
but has larger flowers. Costa Rica. (R. X. O. 1, 32.)
[Illustration: FIG. 275. SINGLE FLOWER OF BRASSIA LANCEANA.]
=B. Lanceana= (Lance's).* _fl._, sepals and petals lanceolate and
tapering, bright yellow, blotched with brown, or sometimes with
deep red; lip wholly yellow, slightly spotted at the base, and much

markings; petals of the same colour, tinged with purple near the

in the middle, yellow, with a brownish-yellow base. Caracas.
=B. Lawrenceana= (Lawrence's).* _fl._ large, sweet-scented; sepals
and petals bright yellow, spotted with cinnamon and green; lip
yellow, tinged with green. June to August. _h._ 1ft. Brazil, 1839.
(B. R. 27, 18.)
=B. L. longissima= (long-sepaled).* _fl._, sepals deep
orange-yellow, blotched and spotted, especially towards the base,
with reddish-purple, and lengthened out into tail-like appendages,
which, in well-grown examples, measure 7in. in length; petals about
2-1/2in. long and 1/4in. broad at the base, marked in the same
manner as the sepals; lip about 3in. long, pale yellow, dotted and
spotted towards the base with purple. August and September. Costa
Rica, 1868. A magnificent variety.
=B. maculata= (spotted).* _fl._ large; sepals and petals pale
yellow, irregularly spotted with brown; the former being short
compared with those of the other species; lip white, spotted about
and below the centre with brown and purple. Spring and early
summer. Jamaica, 1806. See Fig. 276. (B. M. 1691.)

sepals and petals yellowish-green, blotched with brown; lip broad,
yellow, spotted with brown. May to August. Guatemala, 1842. SYN.

=B. verrucosa= (warty-lipped).* _fl._ large; sepals and petals
greenish, blotched with blackish-purple; lip white, ornamented with
numerous little green protuberances or warts, hence the specific
name; scape many-flowered. May and June. Guatemala.
=B. v. grandiflora= (large-flowered).* _fl._ twice the size of, and
a lighter colour than, the type. This variety is very rare, and is
said to be the best of the genus.
=B. Wrayæ= (Wray's).* A synonym of _B. maculata guttata_.
=BRASSICA= (old Latin name used by Pliny; from _Bresic_, the Celtic
name for Cabbage). Cabbage. ORD. _Cruciferæ_. Herbaceous, usually
biennial, rarely annual or perennial, or suffrutescent plants, usually
with a short caudex. Flowers yellow, rarely white, but never purple nor
veined. Radical leaves usually stalked, lyrate, or pinnatifid; cauline
ones sessile or stem-clasping, entire; racemes elongated; pedicels
bractless, filiform. Full cultural details will be found under the
popular garden name of each variety.

[Illustration: FIG. 276. SINGLE FLOWER OF BRASSIA MACULATA.]
=BRASSICACEÆ.= _See_ =Cruciferæ=.
=BRAVOA= (named after Bravo, a Mexican botanist). ORD. _Amaryllidaceæ_.
A pretty little graceful bulbous plant, hardy in very sheltered
positions, but in exposed situations requiring a slight protection in
winter. It is an admirable plant for cool-house culture, and delights
in a compost of light rich loam, leaf mould, and sand. Propagated by
offsets, which are obtainable in autumn; or by seeds, which should be
sown as soon as ripe.
