O. HARRYANUM, Eehb.f.—An extraordinary species, which, when introduced 

 in 1866, came as a great surprise to the Orchid growers of this country. The 

 particular spot in the United States of Colombia where it grows has been many 

 times visited by Orchid collectors, and it' is surprising that such a beauty should 

 have been overlooked. It is an evergreen species, with oblong, ovate, compressed 

 pseudobulbs, smooth when young, becoming furrowed with age, 3 inches or more 

 high, pale green; leaves produced in -> pairs, 6 to 12 inches long, somewhat 

 coriaceous ; scape erect, many-flowered ; flowers ,3 to 6 inches in diameter ; 

 sepals elliptic-oblong, broader than the petals, deep chestnut-brown, transversely 

 streaked and bordered with either rich yellow or greenish-yellow ; petals oblong 

 and curved, deep chestnut-brown, longittidinally striped in the basal halves 

 Trith purplish-mauve and margined with yellow ; the lip is most extraordinary 

 toth in shape and colour; it is large, oblong-oval, three-lobed; lateral lobes 



.<5urved upwards, ground colour white, heavily streaked with feathery lines of 

 'bluish -purple, the crest being much fringed and of a rich deep yellow ; anterior 

 lobe somewhat cordate, pure white, which soon changes to yellow. It was first 

 introduced by Rodriguez 'Pautosha, who sent it to Messrs. Horsmau & Co., of 



■Colchester. It blooms at diSerent seasons of the year, and we find the tempe- 

 rature of the Cattleya house suits it best. — U. S. of Colombia.

O. HARRYANUM FLAVESCENS, i?o7/e.— This distinct variety was first 



flowered by the late A.Wilson, Esq., of Sheffield. "The sepals are deep yellow, 



the petals similar but with white veins near the base, the lip pale primrose with 



. base and crest deep yellow." — U. S. of ColmnTna. , 



O. HARRYANUM, Mr. Wilsons variety. — A handsome and distinct variety, 

 ■which fiowered in the collection of Robert Wilson, Esq., of Mayfield, Falkirk. 

 •■" The sepals are intense blackish-maroon, the yellow transverse markings and 

 -the yellow margin being almost entirely absent, while the same may be said of . 

 the petals ; in the lip the maroon markings of the side lobes are more pronounced 

 than usual" (R. A. Rolfe, in Gardeners' Chroniele, 3rd ser., 1888, iii. p. 522). — 

 U. 8. of Cohmhia. 



O. HARRYANUM PAVONIUM, Bclib. /.—This novelty was first flowered by 

 Messrs. J. Backhouse & Son, of York. " The ground-colour may be called 

 Indian-purple; the sepals, which prove even more curious than the petals, have 

 wood markings of angulate circles and bars of ochre-colour; where they are 

 broadest there are certain lighter brown lines in the centre of the ochre- 

 Cploured ones ; the petals are similar, but the much broken lines are narrower
