Tuis variety, which was named in compliment to Baron Schroeder, possesses a beauty of form and colour quite peculiar 
to itself, indeed it is so distinct from the almost endless varieties of C. Trianzei that any critical orchidist who has once 
seen it would ever after recognise it. The chief point of distinction is the beautiful form of the flower, the sepals and 
petals being so broad and massive, and the lip so large and exquisitely frilled. The soft pale pink of the sepals and 
petals blends charmingly with the rich: tints that adorn the lip. The lower part of the lobe is of a glowing magenta red 
which loses itself in a broad mass of pale yellow. The colours vary somewhat in different plants, as was seen when some 
plants were shown at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society in February, 1886, when it was awarded a first class 
certificate. This variety is unquestionably worthy of taking rank with the finest varieties of C. Trianzi, and will doubtless 
be much sought after.

WueEN I described this fine discovery of Mr. Arnold, Mr. F. Sander’s late traveller, I expressed the suspicion that it 
might be a mule between Odontoglossum nevadense and O. neevium. This surmise may be incorrect, since, so far as I 
know, none of the parents were collected with our plants. I had a fine fresh inflorescence from Mr. Holbrook Gaskell in 
April 1882. The ground colour of the flower is not white but whitish yellow. The inferior part of the column, however, 
is white. There are brown stripes and lines on the sepals and petals, and purple spots on the lip. I may distinctly state 
that the large pyriform ancipitous bulbs look very much like those of Odontoglossum nevadense Rchb. f. The leaves are 
linear acute. This plant is very scarce as it has been imported but once. It is dedicated to Mr. F. Sander in acknow- 
ledgement of his wonderful merits in enriching our collections. Bearing in mind the many beautiful and entirely new 
Orchids introduced by Mr. Sander, when one knows the history of the re-introduction of Cypripedium Spicerianum, 
Odontoglossum Harryanum, Masdevallia tovarensis, Lelia harpophylla, Odontoglossum neevium, and many others, 
one cannot help admiring the wonderful energy, sagacity and strength of character displayed in these undertakings.
