F. A. Philbrick, Esq. The sepals are white, almost wholly 

 flushed with deep rose colour, and indistinctly blotched with 

 deep rose ; the petals are white, slightly spotted with rose 

 towards the base ; and the lip is distinct in shape, being 

 broadly hastate, having four or five reddish brown spots, and 

 a fine large yellow disk. — New Greyiatla. 



0. breTifoliuni, Lindley. — A very free-flowering and hand- 

 some species of the coronarium group. The pseudobulbs are 

 ovate oblong compressed one-leaved, the leaves ovate oblong, 

 short. The flowers are nearly or quite two inches across, 

 numerous, on an erect raceme, of a rich chestnut brown with 

 a narrow golden border ; and the cuneate emarginate lip, which 

 is shorter than the sepals, is of a bright yellow, having a 

 reddish furcate blotch at the base. It blooms in April and 

 May. This flowers more freely than 0. coronarium, and 

 should be cultivated on that account. — Peruvian Andes.
