barred with reddish-brown; the lip is large, white tinged with rose blotched 

 with crimson and beautifully fringed. This variety produces as many as three 

 or four flowers on a spike, and when grown in a basket makes a very charming 

 object. It was first exhibited by Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., in whose fine 

 collection it flowered. — Mexico.

O. CERVANTESII MEMBRANACEUM, Lindl.—A charming small-growing 

 variety of this beautiful species, in which the larger fragi-ant flowers, which 

 smell of almonds, are pure white having concentric broken lines of crimson at 

 the base, and a deeply cordate retuse blunt lip, marked with a few concentric 

 crimson bars. It blooms during the winter months, and continues in bloom 

 four weeks. This will do on a block of wood or in a pot. There are many forms 

 of this variety. One named roseum is a very handsome plant, with the flowers 

 in racemes of five or six together, rose colour, shaded with yellow, and barred 

 with brown, and produced through autumn and winter. — Mexico ; Guatemala.
