ODONIOGLOSSUM HARRYANUM. 
MESSRS. PROTHEROE axo MORRIS are favoured with instructions from 
Mr. F. Sanper to SELL by AUCTION, at their Central Sale Rooms, 67 and 68, Cheapside, E.C., on 
FRIDAY, May 20, at half-past 12 o'Clock precisely, 
A SUPERB IMPORTATION OF THIS MAGNIFICENT NEW ORCHID, 
One of the finest Mr. Sander has ever been privileged to offer. 
The greatest care having been bestowed upon the plants, both in packing and quick despatch, they have 
arrived in such grand order that when potted they will be nearly equal to established plants. 
The gigantic and 
numerous flower-spikes on the plants indicate that this species is extremely floriferous, apart from the wondrous 
_ beauty and indescribably rich and novel colouring of its large blossoms. 
It is evidently a free grower, having 
handsome ample arching foliage, with extremely diverse pseudobulbs, from which abundant variations and quite 
new forms may be expected. The beautiful and brilliant colouring of this novelty is unrivalled, and it must be 
considered one of the grandest introductions of the century, taking rank with the noble Vanda Sanderiana, being 
quite as sensational, and in many points unique. 
It is fully described by Professor RErcHENBACH, in the Gardeners’ Chronicle, October 14, 1886, p. 486, where 
he says :—“‘ This is a grand and most unexpected surprise. The dimensions of the bul 
bs and flowers are those o 
a good Odontoglossum luteo-purpureum. Sepals rather broad, brownish with hieroglyphical transverse greenish- 
yellow lines, which later on becomes intensely yellow. The petals projecting straight forward with yellow recurved 
paints, which is quite characteristic. They are brown in the middle and have numerous mauve blotches and spots 
at the base on a white ground. The lip is rather similar in colour, white when newly expanded, afterwards turning 
to yellow, and marked with numerous mauve lines.” 
A coloured drawing will be on view on day of Sale.
