O. pulchellum. Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 2773. Lindl. Gen. § Sp. Orch.

A beautiful species found in several parts of the West 
Indies, and probably mistaken for O. variegatum till Dr. 
Hooker distinguished it, When in flower its panicle is so 
loaded with white blossoms tinged with yellow and pink as 
to be weighed down with their profusion. 
It requires the treatment usually given to its tribe.
