Odontoglossum Schlieperianum flavidum was first flowered in the Botanic Gardens, 
Berlin, and was named by Herr Klotzsch O. grande flavidum; it again flowered in 
September, 1883 in the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, and was sent to the late 
Professor Reichenbach for identification, who pronounced it to be a yellow form of O, 
Schheperianum, which he described under the varietal name of flaviduwm in the 
Gardeners’ Chronicle, vol. xx., 1883. This plant produces its blossoms in the 
autumn months, and its flower spikes proceed from the base of the pseudobulbs, 
which are compressed ovate, of a dull greyish greev. The spikes are four to six- 
flowered, the individual flowers being about three and a-half inches across, of a 
bright sulphur-yellow; the sepals, petals and lip being indistinctly transversely 
barred and spotted with rich golden yellow. 
Odontoglossum Schlieperianum should be grown in a mixture of rough fibrous 
peat and sphagnum moss, and be well elevated above the rim of the pot. It 
should be placed at the warm end of the house devoted to the culture of 
Odontoglossums; propagation is effected by division of the pseudobulbs. :
