0. Denisonise, Ho7-t. — A very fine Odontoglot, named in 

 compliment to Lady Londesborough, certificated by the Eoyal 

 Horticultural Society, and supposed to be a natural hybrid 

 between 0. crisjnuii and 0. luteo-purptireum {Irystrix), re- 

 sembling the latter in its vigorous habit and in the shape 

 of the flowers. The pseudobulbs are ovate, with a pair of 

 oblong lance-shaped leaves, and the flowers, which grow in 

 elongated racemes on radical scapes, are over four inches 

 across, the sepals lanceolate acuminate white with a few 

 oblong pale purplish spots ; the petals rather broader but

 denticulate, with a pale yellow stain over the disk and a few 

 spots of a rather darker purple, all the parts, the lip 

 especially, being undulated at the edge. — ^ew Grenada.
