0. pulcTiellimi Dormanniannm, Williams. — This is the 



largest variety of 0. pidchelliwi we have yet met with, being 

 far superior to 0. 2^ulchelbim majus. The pseudobulbs are 

 much stronger and stouter than in the type and are rounder 

 in form. The flowers, which are white, and one and a half to 

 one and three-quarters inch in diameter, have the sepals and 

 petals fully half an inch broad. It is named in compliment 

 to C. Dorman, Esq., Laurie Park, Sydenham. — Guatemala. 



0. pulclielllini majus, Hort. — This is a very robust form of 

 0. j^ulchellum, having the pseudobulbs much larger. The 

 flowers are also nearly double the size of those of the ordi- 

 nary variety, and the racemes are stronger, with the blossoms 

 more numerous. In addition they are very fragrant, so that 

 one plant will perfume the house in which it is growing. — • 

 Guatem,ala. 



0. purum, Echb. f. — A very pretty little species in the way 

 of 0. Wallisii. The flowers grow in spreading racemes, the 

 sepals being of a light yellow with the disk entirely covered 

 with sepia brown, the petals light yellow with a few blotches 

 of brown at the base, and the lip pure white, having a large 

 purple blotch about the centre. It flowers in the summer 

 months. — New Grenada. 



0. radiatum. — See Odontoglossum luteo-pubpueeum, 



0. ramosissimum, Lindley. — This is a very old and very 

 ' distinct species with oval compressed pseudobulbs, very long 

 ensiform leaves, and scapes three or four feet high, bearing 

 panicles of innumerable flowers, the panicles being stiff 

 rand excessively divaricately branched. The sepals and petals 

 are narrow lanceolate undulate, of a brilliant white, the basilar 

 portions of the petals lilac-purple ; the lip is cordate, dilated 

 and undulated at the base, the front part lanceolate, acutely 

 pointed, having a large purple-hlac disk. It flowers during 

 the winter months. — New Grenada.
