late, toothed at the edge, the front part enlarged, white 

 having a reddish blotch in the centre and a few small spots 

 near the apex. It flowers during the winter months. — Xeiv 

 Grenada. 



0. ScMieperiamim, Rchb. f. — This species was for a long 

 time confounded with 0. Insleayi, and in growth it certainly 

 resembles that plant very much, notwithstanding that the 

 flowers are very distinct. The pseudobulbs are ovate 

 ancipitous diphyllous, the leaves oblong ligulate, and the 

 stout peduncle bearing a raceme of rather large showy 

 flowers. The sepals and broader petals are oblong ligulate 

 acute, of a pale sulphur yellow, cross-barred, the sepals 

 most so, with transverse bands of deepish purple, while the 

 lip is of a paler yellow, auricled on each side of the base 

 with reti'orse semiovate retuse lobes, the much larger middle 

 lobe being cuneate dilated and emarginate at the apex, and 

 bearing two or three transverse bars of brown. Compared with 

 the size of the flower the lip is somewhat small. It flowers 

 towards the end of summer, and not during the winter 

 months. — Costa Fdca.

0. Scliroderiaiium, Bchh.f. — This distinct and pretty novelty 

 was flowered in 1882 by Baron Schroder, the plant being under 

 the care of his gardener, Mr. Ballantine. In their general 

 form the flowers resemble those of 0. trlpudians, between 

 which and 0. Pescatorei it is suggested that it may be a wild 

 mule. The sepals and petals are oblong acute wavy, white with 

 mauve-purple blotches ; the lip is pandurate, broader at the 

 basal part, narrower, obcordate apiculate in front, white with 

 two mauve-purple blotches on the disk, behind which stands 

 the callus, consisting of a plate of radiating spines on each 

 side, yellow with some red spots. It flowers in summer. — 

 Neiv Grenada. 



0. spectatissimum. — See Odontoglossum triumphans. 



0. stellimicans, lichh. f. — This, according to Professor 

 Eeichenbach, is a very fine thing, and has turned up out of a 

 batch of 0. Pescatorei; it may be a mule between this and 0. 

 triumjjhans or 0. trlpudians, or even 0. Lindleyanum ; the 

 sepals and petals are lanceolate stellate of a good clear yellow.
