yellow in front ; 6, a clear crimson-scarlet self, with orange-scarlet lip, and 
a little light yellow on each side of the crest ; 7, chocolate-purple with rosy 
reticulation (owing to the blotches being nearly confluent), and apex of lip 
lilac: and 8, near the last except in having the blotches violet-purple, and 
a broad blotch across the lip. Here O. Pescatorei comes in through only 
one parent, being replaced by O. Harryanum in the other, hence a marked 
resemblance to the latter in shape and colour. (For four others see O.R..,. 
XXi. p. 139). 
O. MADELINE (O. Charlesworthii * Og. crispum blotched form 2) is: 
represented by five diverse forms: 1, pale yellow, with zones of light brown; 
2, ivory white with orange-crimson bars; 3 pale yellow, barred and zoned: 
with rich crimson, and the lip yellow with a crimson blotch; 4, pale 
yellow, very heavily barred with crimson; and 5, a dark chocolate-purple 
self with a few yellow markings on the lip. Here O. Pescatorei is entirely 
replaced by a blotched form of O. crispum. 
O. Patricia (O. Charlesworthii x Og. Phoebe ?) is represented by five 
diverse forms; 1, heavily zoned with crimson-brown on a yellowish white 
' ground; 2, rather more heavily marked and of better shape; 3, yellow 
with heavy crimson-brown blotches ; 4, almost dark chocolate-purple with 
many small yellow lines between the blotches; and 5, a dark chocolate- 
brown self, with much yellow on the lip. Here half the O. crispum is 
replaced by O. cirrhosum, giving very accuminate segments and an elongate 
and branched spike. (For five others see O.R., xxi. p. 167). 
O. BRUNETTE (O. Bohnhofie ? xX Og. Harryanum) is represented by 
eight different forms: 1, yellow with heavy chocolate-brown blotches; 2, 
rather similar, but the front of the lip yellow; 3, segments and lip all 
heavily blotched with chocolate-purple ; 4, chocolate-purple with narrow 
yellow lines between the blotches, and the lip yellow with many small 
purple blotches below; 5, a light brown self; 6, a purple-red self; 7, a 
darker purple-red self of good shape ; and 8, still darker purple, with very 
acuminate segments and an orange blotch on the base of the lip. Here 
O. cirrhosum comes in through the Odontioda parent, giving an acuminate 
shape to the segments, while O. Harryanum comes in separately, giving an 
unusually dark colour. 
It is a remarkable series, and Messre Charlesworth remark that it affords 
an excellent illustration of what may be expected in the future. It is 
difficult to give an idea of the range of colour variation in a few words, and 
there are also differences in shape. It is fortunate that the parentage has 
been carefully recorded, for otherwise it is doubtful if some of them would 
have been correctly identified. Several of them are very handsome and will 
certainly be heard of again, for in many cases they are small seedlings 
producing their first flowers.
