ORCHID SPECIES 



ODONTOGLOSSUM DELTOGLOSSUM, Rchb. f. 



Syns. 0. odoratum, var. deltoglossum, Hort. Veitch. 

 Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1881, vol. xv. p. 202 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. i. p. 56. 



This supposed natural hybrid between Odontoglossom crispum and 

 0. gloriosum appeared in an importation of these two species. 



It is distinguished from 0. Andersonianum, of similar origin, by a more 

 deltoid lip, and the floral segments are sulphur-yellow blotched with 

 brown. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM DENISON^l, Hort., var. CHESTEKTONII. 



Syns. 0. crispum, var. Chestertonii, Rchb. f. 



Rolfe in Orchid Review, 1899, vol. vii. p. 361, fig. 18; Gard. Chron. 1876, p. 374; 

 Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. i. p. 26. 



A beautiful Odontoglossum introduced through Chesterton, whose name 

 it bears. It was formerly considered a variety of 0. crispum, but is now 

 thought to be a natural hybrid between O. luteopurpureum and O. 

 crispum, the flowers being exactly intermediate in shape between those 

 of the two species named. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM KEAMEEI, Rchb. f. 



Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1868, p. 98, fig. ; Fl. Mag. t. 406 ; Bot. Mag. t. 5778 ; Fl. dea 

 Serres, t. 2469 ; 1'Illus. Hort. t. 562. 



A native of Costa Eica, where it was discovered by Carl Kramer, and 

 introduced through him in 1868. 



A rare plant, said to be restricted to a single locality on the mountain 

 slopes near the Pacific Coast, it is now well nigh exterminated owing to 

 the destruction of the forests for agricultural purposes. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM LEEANUM, Rchb. f. 



Syns. 0. odoratum, var. Leeanum, Kent. 

 Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1882, vol. xvii. p. 525. 



This variety appeared in an importation from Columbia, and was named 

 in compliment to Mr. W. Lee of Leatherhead, a leading amateur of orchids 

 in his day. 



It is supposed to be a natural hybrid between Odontoglossum gloriosum 

 and 0. crispum.

Syns. 0. Lindleyanum, var. Coradinei, Hort. Veitch.

 vol. xix. p. 233 (Rolfe on Natural Hybrids) ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. i. p. 43.
