j he handsome variety which we figure in the annexed plate is not only 
remarkable in colour, but is distinct in size and structure. Its flowers, 
which are very well formed, have the petals very finely fringed along 
the margins, covering the margin of the sepals, and of such large dimensions 
as we have seldom seen. And what is still rarer, the substance is thick, and nearly 
coriaceous, as we have never before observed it in Odontoglossum crispum. 
The colour is superb, of a lilac-mauve reflected with white and bearing large 
bright brown blotches on the sepals and lip. 
The present variety bears the name of Walton Grange, Stone, Staffordshire, 
the property of Wix1am Tuompson, Esq., who has established there his rich 
collection of Orchids. 
This collection is specially famed for its magnificent Odontoglossums, in- 
cluding numerous very choice varieties. 
We are particularly pleased to be able to name one of these plants in its 
honour, and one which by its distinct and splendid character is well worthy to 
bear it.
