0. Warnerianum, Bdih. /. — This very rare and handsome 

 species forms as it were " a connecLing link between 0. nebu- 

 losum and 0. Eossii, having the broad petals of the former, 

 and the slender narrow pseudobulbs of the latter." The plant 

 is dwarf in habit, and the scape, which is longer than the 

 leaves, bears four or five flowers. The pseudobulbs are tufted 

 narrow elongate ovate monophyllous, the leaves ligulate acute, 

 and the flowers about three inches across. The sepals are 

 oblong acute, white with a few transverse brownish red bars, 

 the dorsal one having also an ocellate spot at the base ; the 

 petals are blunter and wavy, white with an ocellate basal 

 mark enclosed by a semicircle of roundish brownish red spots ; 

 and the lip broad cordate-triangular obtuse crenulate and 

 minutely crisped, and having a cuneate obovate three -lobed 

 yellow callus on the disk. A very rare species, beautifully 

 figured in Mr. Warner's work. — Mexico, Guatemala.

0. Warscewiczii, BM. f. — A very rare, very distinct, and 

 very lovely Odontoglot, showing in its foliage and habit of 

 growth a close affinity with 0. vexillarium. The pseudobulbs 

 are small, oblong ovate, compressed with the edges acute, 

 and the distichous leaves elliptic lanceolate. The flowers 

 grow six or eight together on a slender scape, each being two 

 and a half inches across. They are pure white, each sepal 

 and petal having a small bar of a lovely rose colour at the 

 base, and the lip two larger blotches, one on each side of the 

 crest. In form the sepals are ovate acute, the petals rather 

 broader and blunter, and the large lip broadly panduriform 

 and bilobed, all the parts being spread out flat ; the golden 

 crest consisting of a pubescent hippocrepiform belt, enclosing 

 a short inflexed horn, in front of which are three short blunt 

 yellow keels. — Costa Rica: Veragua, on the Cordillera of 

 Chiriqui, elevation 8,000 feet.
