Thus we may always be expecting to find new forms. The one we now depict is 
a most beautiful plant, which it may be supposed was originated in this way. 
We are indebted to R. H. Measures, Esq., Woodlands, Streatham, for being 
enabled to figure this fine Odontoglossum, which is named in honour of Mr. Measures 
youngest daughter, as already mentioned under Plate 174 of our present volume. 
It produces fine nodding plumes of lovely spotted flowers. 
Odontoglossum Pideghince is an evergreen plant, compact in its growth, forming 
light green pseudobulbs and foliage, and producing its fine curving racemes after the 
bulbs have completed their growth. The sepals and petals are blush white, beautifully 
spotted with reddish chocolate colour. It flowers during the winter months, and lasts 
six weeks in beauty. It was imported from New Grenada, and requires the same 
treatment as O. crispum (Alexandre). Myr. Howe, the gardener, grows it in a 
pot, the same as other Odontoglots, with rough fibrous peat and moss. The 
drainage must be good, and the material at the roots kept damp, a condition 
which most of these cool Orchids seem to enjoy.
