Messrs. T. Rochford & Co., Broxbourne, and is now in the 
collection of Mr. De Barri Crawshay; Rosefield, Seven- 
oaks. It chiefly differs from the original in having fewer 
and rather larger spots on the sepals and petals. The 
plant is now recognized as a natural hybrid between 
O. glorioswm and O. triumphans, which are known to grow 
together, and whose characters are clearly combined in it. 
A flower of each parent is added to the plate, for com- 
parison. A large number of natural hybrid Odontoglos- 
sums are now known, and they invariably appear 
unexpectedly among importations of the parent species, 
several of which grow intermixed in a wild state. 
The figure was prepared from an inflorescence kindly 
sent by Baron Schréder, The Dell, Egham, in April, 1906, 
the rest of the plant being taken from the ‘Orchid 
Album.”
