	Rodriguezias should be grown in very shallow pots filled with tough peat, and well drained. Rest them in a temperature of 50°, giving little water. The growing temperature should be from 65° to 75°. Give plenty of moisture and shade from direct sunshine. The stronger- growing kinds will need thicker potting material in baskets; they do well wired on tree-fern stocks.

Rodriguezia (Emanuel Rodriguez, Spanish botanist and apothecary).
Including Burlingtonia. Orchi- daceae. South American epiphytic
orchids, a few of which are cultivated for graceful racemes of
delicate flowers.

Pseudobulbs small, compresses d, 1-2-lvd. and bearing sheathing lvs. at the base: racemes erect or pendulous; dorsal sepal and petals similar, free, erect; lateral sepals united, concave, but scarcely saccate; labellum spurred or saccate, with a long claw parallel to the column, and a spreading blade usually exceeding the sepal; column slender. Robert Brown's genus Gomesa (sometimes written Gomeza), founded on G. recurva, is by some referred to Rodrigueziu. See Gomesa. The fls. are nearly always fragrant. The plants vary somewhat in habit. Some species form neat, compact tufts, while others, like R. decora, have long, straggling rhizomes difficult to keep within the limits of a block or a basket.

Rodriguezias should be grown in very shallow pots filled with tough peat, and well drained. Rest them in a temperature of 50°, giving little water. The growing temperature should be from 65° to 75°. Give plenty of moisture and shade from direct sunshine. The stronger- growing kinds will need thicker potting material in baskets; they do well wired on tree-fern stocks. During growth, syringing is necessary.
