The subject of our present figure is probably a natural hybrid, related to 
QO. Andersonianum. Our sketch was taken from a specimen in the far-famed collection 
of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., Burford Lodge, Dorking. Odontoglossum hebraicum 
is an evergreen plant, the foliage and pseudobulbs being of a pleasing green colour, 
The flowers proceed from the base of the bulbs on scapes some foot or more in 
length, after the growth of the pseudobulbs has been completed, and are, as will 
be seen, of a strikingly showy character, and borne in panicles. The sepals and 
petals are pale yellow, distinctly spotted in a curious hieroglyphical manner with 
chocolate-brown, and the lip is of the same colour, with three or four irregular blotches 
in the centre. It continues in bloom for several weeks during the winter and 
spring months. 
This plant requires the same cool treatment as O. crispum (Alexandre), being 
potted in similar material, and in like manner kept well supplied with moisture, 
the soil being, of course, thoroughly drained, so that the water does not stagnate 
about the roots. | 
CaTtLeYA WaGeNert.—At a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, on 
June 9th, Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild, of Tring Park, exhibited, from his fine 
collection, a wonderful specimen of this scarce and grand Cuttleya, bearing twenty 
of its splendid flowers fully expanded. It formed a grand feature of the meeting, 
with its snowy white sepals and petals, and its broad lip of a charming lemon- 
yellow edged with white. It is a grand acquisition to our Cattleyas, and, although 
it has been shown for many years, it was generally seen in the form of. small 
plants. In consequence of its rarity it has been cut up to increase the number 
of plants. The Messrs. Sander & Co. have been fortunate enough to import a 
few fine masses, and the specimen exhibited on this occasion was from the same 
collector, and does Mr. Hill, of Tring Park Gardens, great credit for bringing it 
out in such perfection. The plant was deservedly awarded a Cultural Commendation.
