Platyclinis (Greek, broad bed; in allusion to the clinandrium). Orchidaceae. Epiphytic orchids, suitable for a warm greenhouse. These plants are by recent orchid students referred to Dendrochilum. In this account, the names under that genus are given in the parentheses.
Pseudobulbs small, closely crowded, each with a single, narrow, evergreen lf.: fls. borne in graceful,drooping racemes 6-10 in. long, small and not showy, but the thread-like racemes arching from among the densely tufted green foliage give the plants a pleasing appearance; sepals and petals spreading; labellum 3-lobed; column short, with an erect- toothed clinandrium and a large, narrow, erect wing on each side of the clinandrium.—About 20 species in India, China, and the Malay Isls. The several species of Platyclinis are all small com-pact-growing plants, requiring but little root-space. They are of easy culture and readily adapt themselves to either pot or basket culture, the latter being preferable for those with pendulous flower-scapes. The roots do not like being disturbed, but when repotting is necessary it is best to do it just after the flowering period. The compost should consist of equal parts chopped live sphagnum moss and clean peat fiber. The roots should be carefully distributed and the compost pressed gently but firmly in around them, leaving the surface slightly convex when finished. At least two-thirds of the space should be devoted to free drainage with potsherds or bits of charcoal. A shaded location and moist atmosphere, with a temperature of 60° to 65° F. by night and 70° to 75° by day, will afford them satisfactory growing conditions. They require a liberal supply of water at the roots, with occasional syringing overhead in bright weather when growing, and should never be allowed to remain long dry even when at rest. The plants frequently produce side growths from the old pseudobulbs, which may be removed after the growths are matured, leaving three or more of the old pseudobulbs attached to each piece, thus increasing the stock. When no natural break occurs, however, the plants may often be induced to break by slightly twisting, or notching the rhizome with a sharp knife, thereby retarding the flow of sap at that point. (Robert M. Grey.)
P. barbifrons, Kranzl. Lvs. lanceolate, acute, 5-7 in. long, about 1 in. broad: racemes very slender, pendulous, many-fld.; fls. greenish white, about ,1/16in. across; sepals ana petals similar, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate; lip entire, obovate, apiculate. Sumatra. G.C. III. 31: 366 (desc.).—P. cucumerinum, Hort. (Dendrochilum cucumerinum, Reichb. f.). Lvs. long-petiolate, oblong, 5-nerved, up to 5 in. long, less than 1/2in. wide: scape slender, exceeding lvs., with a pendulous raceme; fls. pellucid-green; sepals oblong, acute, 1/6in. long: petals similar, denticulate, lip 3-toothed. Philippines.—P. lati- folia, Hemsl. Pseudobulbs 1-lvd.: lvs. elliptic-lanceolate, 1oin. long, 7-nerved: raceme many-fld., pendulous, on an erect scape; fls. greenish yellow; sepals triangular-lanceolate, acute, 2/5in. long; petals ovate lanceo- late, acute, denticulate; lip brown-striped. Philippines.
