Cutrure. — The habitat of Odontoglossum Rossi is South Mexico and Central 
America as far as Nicaragua; it is cultivated in the same manner as O. Cervantesi, 
its near neighbour, to which it bears a close analogy. They are cool Orchids, 
but require less water, and rather more care in winter than O. crisbum and 
the Masdevallia. 
Owing to its small size, O. Rossi may be easily cultivated in pots, hung up 
near the glass. It is very free-blooming, and generally flowers at the beginning 
of the year, from January until April. It is then one of the most graceful orna- 
ments of the Orchid house.
