in England in 1823, Linpiey did not recognize the Efidendrum guttatum of his 
predecessor and gave it the new name which it has kept since. 
It would be most desirable that O. Luridum should be introduced freely 
into cultivation. A great number of plants of this genus are of the utmost service 
for the ornamentation of the hot-houses or for the making of bouquets. The 
flowers form elegant clusters of extreme variety and brilliant coloration. 
The culture of O. Luvidum is about the same as that of O. haematochilum 
and of Cattleya citrina. It is to be placed in the intermediate house; during the 
fine season and notably at the time when the flowers appear, the plants can be © 
taken into the temperate-cool house. They require to be watered freely, and 
not to be exposed to the rays of the sun; the compost during the time of rest 
ought never to be allowed to become quite dry. 
The annexed plate figured from a fine specimen belonging to D* Caparr, 
has been painted by one of our new artists, M. Henri Leroux, and is the first 
production of this excellent painter in horticultural illustrations.
