0. Pescatorei Lowianum, Bchb. f. — This plant was first 



flowered by Sir T. Lawrence, Bart., M.P., and has very long 

 sepals and petals which have numerous mauve spots and dots 

 on a fine light mauve ground. — New Grenada. 



0. Pescatorei SclLroderianunij Bchb. f. — A very beautiful 



variety of 0. Pescatorei, the original plant of which sold for 

 70 guineas, and is now, after having changed owners, in the 

 collection of Baron Schroder, The Dell, Staines. In growth 

 it resembles the type, but its flowers come near those of 

 0. P. Veltchianum. The sepals and petals ai-e densely spotted 

 and blotched with purple, which marking, being rather con- 

 fined to the basal part of the sepals and petals, gives the 

 flowers a very distinct appearance. — New Grenada. 



0. Pescatorei Veitchianum, BcM. f.—k very handsome 



and distinct variety, resembling the type in its habit of growth, 

 and to some extent resembling 0. P. Schroderianum in its 

 flowers. The sepals and petals are white transversely 

 blotched at the base with mauve-purple, these markings 

 having the peculiarity of agreeing in their positions on the 

 sepals and petals, so that they form a series of irregular spots 

 and broken rings extending towards the apex. This plant 

 is in the collection of Baron Schroder. — New Grenada.
