flowers of this species are very showy, as, in addition to the 

 colours of the inner surface, they are blood-red on the outer 

 side. It should be grown in peat and sphagnum, and kept in 

 the cool house. The flowers are produced during the latter 

 part of summer and beginning of autumn. — Ecuador. 



0. incur vum, Barker. — A very pretty and distinct dwarf 

 Orchid, with ovate ancipitous three or four-ribbed pseudo- 

 bulbs, two or three ensiform leaves, and erect scapes two feet 

 high, bearing a racemose panicle of the elegant sweet-scented 

 flowers, which have the five sepals and petals linear-lanceolate 

 wavy and quite free, white cross-banded with reddish purple 

 and the concave roundish lip pure white. It flowers during 

 autumn and winter, and lasts long in beauty. This plant is 

 best grown in a pot with peat ; it is indeed a very fine 

 species when well grown. We have seen a specimen growing 

 in a cool house bearing twenty-five spikes, and a charming 

 object it was. — Mexico.
