844 ORCHIDESi) 



ODONTOGLOSSOMin 



Of Ibis flne plant the panicle is from two to three feei high, and not much nar- 

 rower. Tbe Oowers are of ample size, of a delicate semitrarisparent lexture , with a 

 faint biush line along the miiidie of the sepals, and a siain of yellow near ihe base 

 of the lip , where also are found a pair of broad deep crimson laieral lamellae be- 

 longing to the crest, in ihe form of iwo lacerated appendages. The column itself is 

 white. The ragged wings are stained with crimson. Since ihe publicaiion of this in 

 Paxton it has occurred to me that it is probably the 0. nobile of Reiclienbach fil., 

 for which he quotes Funck and Scblim's coliection . no, 1429, a number which I do 

 not possess; but unless there is some typogra|ihical error in the learned author's 

 specific character which destroys its meaning, his phinl must be different, especially 

 since he describes ihe li|> as purple , and ihe other parls rose-coloured. My speci- 

 men of Pescalorei is wilhout a number, bui with a refeience to an unpublished draw- 

 ing, no. 69, which I have not seen. I am ihe more unccrtain whether this can be 

 0. nobile, because ihere is in reality nothing to separate it Irom Odonloglossum, as 

 Pro/essor Reichenbach partl.v suggests, tbe species being in trulh exiremely near 

 0. crispum , the lagged crimson appendages at the base of the lip being evidently 

 identical with ihe laieral plates s« generally found io this genus. 



Lindl. Paxt. Fl. G. III. 174: 



It now appears that ihis beautiful plant fig. at plate 90. had been previously de- 

 scribed by Mr. G. Reichenbach under the name of Odonlogl. nobile , as has been 

 suggested in the Folia 0. It was however impossible the recognize to description, 

 in consequence of the misprints which it coniained; and we question whether under 

 such circunistances Mr. Linden's name can be disturbed. 



Obs. Lapsus non insunt in descripiione. Equidem amico Linden nomen pro 

 hortis lubenter cessi. Sed modus lapsus indicandi , ubi Japsus non adsunt (calli 

 enim carinae ipsi Lindley saepe synonyma), haud probandus. Rchb. fil. — Cf. v, Schl.
