Limatodes (perhaps from the Greek for meadow, referring to the habitat of the plants). Orchidaceae. Similar to Calanthe, but the spurred labellum is not adnate to the column but closely wrapped around it. In Phaius, and in Calanthe also, the leaves are not articulated to the stem and therefore wither on the plant instead of falling.—One species in India. After resting season of limatodes is over, say from February to May, shake off the old potting material. If plants are large, divide them and pot them moderately tight. For the American climate, chop finely some good turfy loam well mixed with old rotten cow-manure and a little leaf-mold and sharp sand and place in a shaded house, temperature 70° to 90°. Do not water till roots are well out, and sparingly till leaves are well started. After that and during flower-sheath growth, they will enjoy profuse waterings and spraying; water with weak liquid at intervals of ten days or so, and every plant will be a marvel of beauty. (Wm. Mathews.) The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
