MILTONIA. 325 
(4) not to have a photograph made, (5) not to look oftener 
than three times at it!” 
M. Warscewiczii—This extraordinary plant is generally 
known as Oncidium Weltonz. It differs from most Miltonias 
in its many-flowered, branching scapes, and in the fantastic 
colours of its flowers. The pseudo-bulbs are clustered, 
erect, 5in. long, 1in. broad, much flattened, green, usually 
with only one apical leaf, and several others springing 
from the base. Leaves strap-shaped, 6in. to gin. long, 
1tin. broad, bright green. Scape wiry, arching, varying 
in length according to the strength of the plant, strong 
pseudo-bulbs producing tall, loose-branching panicles of 
thirty or more flowers, each flower 2in. across; sepals and 
petals recurved at the margins towards the base, wavy, 
reddish brown, with yellow tips; lip almost circular, two- 
lobed, the margins curved back, so as to give the front 
a rounded appearance; colour rose-purple, with a central 
blotch of yellowish brown, and a broad, marginal band of 
white. It blossoms freely in summer or autumn, the flowers 
remaining fresh for several weeks. It should be grown 
along with, and be treated as advised for, M. candida. A 
native of Peru, whence it was introduced in 1869. Syn. 
O. fuscatum.
