1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, &C. 559 
Odontoglossum—continued. 
one in which strong sunlight could be avoided. The modern 
system of culture altogether disposes of the idea of dull 
surroundings and dense shade, and span-roofed houses, 
built in such a manner that a constant circulation of fresh 
air is admitted at all times when the external conditions 
are favourable, are now found to be the most suitable. 
The heavy shading also formerly in use has_ been 
replaced in almost all the establishments where these 
plants are well grown, by open wood lattice roller blinds, 
so that while the sun's rays are broken a clear bright 
light is admitted. These blinds, being raised some 
distance from the glass, permit the air to circulate freely, 
with the result that considerably cooler conditions can 
be maintained in the interior of the houses. 
O. Harryana and its hybrids do best when grown in 
a temperature a few degrees warmer than the ordinary 
Odontoglossum-honse temperature. They should not be 
allowed to be in a lower temperature than 50deg. even 
in winter. If cultivated with the other Odontoglossnms 
they are liable to become spotted and permanently 
disfigured during the winter months. They succeed well 
at the warm end of the Odontoglossum-house through the 
hotter months of the year. 
Other species formerly included hereunder are now 
referred to Gomeza and Miltonia.
