a plant flowered, and was found to be O. aspersum. We then gave our 
collector orders to send us a quantity. He wrote back, saying he could not find 
many in the old locality, near Orizaba, but he would proceed a little further north 
and try there. Luckily he found a nice batch growing together with O. Rossi, 
and this plant turned up among them. We cannot find any locality in his letters 
but the Cordillera, north of Orizaba, running parallel with the coast.” 
Odontoglossum Youngii is a dwarf-growing species, and one which we advise 
to be grown in a shallow basket, in like manner to O. Rossw, and it should be 
treated in the same manner as that species. The pseudobulbs are roundish-ovate, 
bearing a single leaf. The scape bears one or two flowers, but in all probability, 
as the plants become stronger, more flowers will be borne on the. scape; these 
flowers have a delicious aromatic odour. It requires to be potted in good fibrous 
peat and sphagnum moss, and the pots or baskets must be well drained. It 
succeeds very well in the ordinary cool house with other species of Odontoglossum 
of the Alexandre and Rossii types; but we do not think it would be well to 
subject it to such a low temperature as that to which the last named plant may 
be exposed with impunity.
