ODONTOGLOSSUM CORADINEI. 
[Pate 90. ] 
Native of New Grenada. - 
OpontocLossum Corapinet, Reichenbach fil., in Gardeners’ Chronicle, 1872, 1068, 
fig. 251; Id. Xenia Orchidacea, ii. 208, t. 192, figs. 1-4. 
This is one of the numerous imported forms of Odontoglots which are supposed 
to be natural hybrids, many of which are so beautiful and so much sought after, 
becoming greater favourites as time passes. We are by no means surprised at the 
growing taste for this charming Orchidic genus, since the plants are of easy eulture, 
require nothing but cool treatment, and their flowers, which are of long duration, 
are borne on graceful spikes. : 
The form we now represent is, distinct in colour, and comes in as a good 
contrast with the varieties of Odontoglossum Alexandra (crispum)—a contrast which 
it should always be sought to establish in making a collection, in order to spi 
a picturesque effect in the house, since the different varieties when associated » show 
each other off to advantage. 
The plant was found in New Grenada by the collectors Chesterton and Coradine, 
— and was named by request of the former (who has lately died) in honour of his 
Companion in travel, It appears to be a hybrid between Odontoglossum HOE 
and some of the O. odoratum group, and would seem to be somewhat : ariable : 
character. The sketch we publish was taken from a plant in the co cere : 
Robert War ner, Esq., Broomfield, near Chelmsford, who has the largest = a 
collection of Odontoglots we have seen, extending to about twelve thousand plants.
