HORTUS VEITCHII 



by Hartweg in the mountains of El Sisme in Peru, and flowered for the 

 first time at Chelsea in April 1868. 



NOTYLIA ALBIDA, Klotzsch. 

 Echb. in Gard. Chron. 1870, p. 987; Bot. Mag. t. 6311. 



A native of Central America, first introduced to this country by 

 Warscewicz, who sent plants to the gardens of the Horticultural Society. 



Ee-imported by us, it flowered for the first time in April 1872, dense 

 racemes, producing white flowers some 6 in. or more in length. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM BAPHICANTHUM, Bchb.f. 



Syns. 0. odoratum, var. baphicanthum, Veitch. 



Gard. Chron. 1876, vol. vi. p. 260; id. 1883, vol. xix. p. 310; Veitchs' Man. Orch. 



PI. pt. i. p. 55. 



This originally appeared in one of our importations from New Grenada, 

 and is probably of hybrid origin, and possibly a natural hybrid between 

 Odontoglossum crispum and O. gloriosum. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM BLANDUM, Bchb. f. 



Echb. in Gard. Chron. 1870, p. 1342 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. i. p. 14, fig. opposite. 



Odontoglossum blandum was first discovered by Mr. Blunt in 1863-1865 

 in New Grenada, but the plants perished during transmission to Europe, 

 and several subsequent consignments met with a similar fate. Its first 

 appearance in a living state was at Stevens's Eooms, where plants were 

 purchased by the Koyal Horticultural Society, which flowered at Chiswick 

 in 1871. It was still very scarce till Kalbreyer sent us a moderate 

 importation of plants in 1879 ; it is still uncommon in collections. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM BBACHYPTEBUM, Bchb.f. 



Echb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1882, vol. xviii. p. 552; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. i. p. 71. 



Believed to be a natural hybrid of which Odontoglossum nobile or 

 O. Pescatorei is one, and O. luteo-purpureum the other parent, and sent 

 by Kalbreyer from New Grenada. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM COEONAEIUM, LindL, var. DAYANUM. 



Echb. in Gard. Chron. 1876, vol. vi. p. 226. 



Introduced from Peru. The sepals and petals are yellow, marbled with 

 brown, and are distinct from the type not only in colour but in having 

 three conical acute warts each side of the crest. Flowered for the first 

 time in September 1875 with Mr. Day of Tottenham.
