THE PESCATORE ODONTOGLOT (ODONTOGLOSSUM 

 PESCATOREI). 



A Stove Epiphyte of great beauty from New- 

 Granada, belonging to the order of Orchids. Few 

 of the Odontoglots equal in beauty this most lovely 

 species, to which the smallness of the plate for- 

 bids our doing justice. The panicle of large white 

 flowers is from two to three feet high, and not much 

 narrower, so far do the branches extend. The flowers 

 themselves are of ample size, of a delicate semi- 

 transparent texture, with a faint blush line along the 

 middle of the sepals, and a stain of yellow near the 

 base of the lip, where also are found a pair of broad 

 deep crimson lacerated appendages. The column 

 itself is white, with the ragged wings also stained with 

 crimson.
