(Campbell 104). A list of the plants in cultivation at the Botanic Station in 1899 can be found in the archives of Kew, sent by C. A. Moloney, Governor and Commander-in- Chief. This list is apparently the earliest list of plants collected or introduced into the colony, and it shows 23 species of orchids. [Table 7] Among the species mentioned in this list is Prosthechea cochleata, the “Black Orchid”, Belize’s National Flower. There is another list in the archives of Kew, indicating that there was an herbarium at the Botanic Centre. The whereabouts of these collections are however unknown” (Balick et al., 2000: 15). 32 This chapter follows mostly Gómez, 2007. LANKESTERIANA 9(1—2), August 2009. © Universidad de Costa Rica, 2009. Central American orchids in England at the end of the XIX century 32 . Among the most important English establishments dedicated to the import and growing of orchids were the house of B.S. & H. Williams (Victoria and Paradise Nurseries) and that of James Veitch in Chelsea, of which we talked in the previous chapter. The first one produced the famous The Orchid- Grower’s Manual, (first edition 1852), and the second a catalogue, the Hortus Veitchii, published in 1906. The Williams were great promoters of British orchidomania, particularly Benjamin who began, in 1851 and at the suggestion of John Lindley, a divulgative series entitled Orchids for the Millions, published in The Gardeners’ Chronicle. From this series the famous Orchid Album was derived, a monthly publication with illustrations by John Fitch. The Orchid-Grower’s Manual contains 796 pages, with 310 line illustrations. We are following here the 7 th (last) edition, published in 1894, which lists a total of 3,359 taxa of which the authors consider that 2,650
