Anoectochilus (Greek, open lip). Orchidàceae. A group cultivated for the beautifully reticulated leaves, which are oval or ovate, membranaceous and diversely colored; the flowers are small, not ornamental. Terrestrial, from a creeping rhizome: lvs. basal: fls. in a spike or raceme; sepals free, the dorsal erect, forming a hood with the petals, the lateral sepals spreading; lip adnate to the foot of the column, spreading; claw fimbriate, the blade 2-lobed.—About 8 species. Although many methods have been adopted for the successful cultivation of the best species and varieties, failure has been the rule, so that at present few American collections contain even a single specimen. Plants introduced by collectors sometimes thrive for a few years and then fail, in spite of all efforts. Frequently they can be kept only a year or two. Several kinds are described and figured in foreign publications, but they are all fanciers' plants. Other names which appear in the American trade are: A. Dayana - (?) — A. Dawsoniànus - Haemaria.—A. Frederici-Augustii: Reichb. f. (A. xanthophyllus. Planch.). Lvs. dark velvety green, the broad orange stripe down the center covered with a network of gold. G. 10:675; 27:54.—A. Lowii. Hort.-Dossinia.—A. Petola. Hort.—Macodes.—A. Veitchianus, Hort.-Macodes. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
