228 THE WOODLANDS ORCHIDS 



stance '—which means, in effect, that it will last an unusual 

 time. Notable for the deep tone of its purplish markings. 



Pescatorei grandiflonm. — Immense. The lip has a yellow 

 dash at base. 



Pescatorei splendens. — Sepals and petals white ; lip hand- 

 somely spotted with purple. 



Pescatorei violaceum. — The whole flower is tinted with 



violet. 



Crispum purpureum shows a similar peculiarity, but the 



tint is purple. 



Crispum Dayanum.—Tht sepals have a large irregular 

 patch of darkest mauve in the centre, the petals a spot or two 

 of the same colour and a streak at the base. The lip is 



white. 



Old-fashioned people have not yet learned to call Odonto- 

 glossum vexillarium a Miltonia. To avoid confusion I will 

 give it no generic name at all. It should be observed, how- 

 ever, that in our collection these plants are ' grown cool ' all 

 the year round. Among the most important are : — 



Vexillaria Cohhiana. — Pale rose with white lip. 



Vexillaria Measuresiana. — All white save the golden 

 ' beard.' Perhaps the handsomest of its rare class. 



Vexillaria rubella. — Deep rose. Valuable for its habit of 

 flowering in autumn.
