summer, and, judging from the specimens I have examined, seems 

 to vary considerably in the size and tinting of its blossoms. Mr. 

 Fitch's drawing was taken from a plant exhibited in July last at 

 South Kensington by Mr. Williams, of the Paradise Nursery. 

 Like the rest of the genus it is very easily managed, provided it 

 be not kept too warm. The Trichopilias, however, can scarcely 

 be reckoned amongst " cool " Orchids in the extreme sense of 

 the term, requiring as they do, a temperature considerably higher 

 than would suffice for many of the most popular Odontoglossa.
