obtuse leaves, and from the axil of an accessory leaf at its base a panicle of 

 fi?agrant flowers, some 8 inches in diameter, with the linear lanceolate acuminate 

 undulated sepals and petals pale green barred transversely with thin purple 

 lines, and the broadly hastate lip having the basal part purple, triangular, with 

 two acute side lobes, and the front part white, roundish, ovate, acute; the 

 purple part bears a crest of five irregular lamellae. This is a useful plant for

O. HEBRAICUM, Rchh. /.—This very beautiful and distinct Odontoglot, 

 supposed to be a natural hybrid, has elongate ovate compressed pseudobulbs, 

 ligulate oblong leaves,' and dense racemes or panicles of showy stellate flowers, of 

 which the ovate lanceolkte acuminate sepals and petals are pale yellow, and are 

 striped and heavily spotted with chestnut-brown, the markings being suggestive 

 of Hebrew characters ; the hastate lip is yellow, darker at the base, where it is 

 marked by short radiating lines of crimson, the front part undulate and 

 acuminate, and having a large cordiform blotch of maroon-brown. It flowers in 

 the summer months. — Neie Grenatla.

 which surrounds them being deep yellow. It flowers during the summer 

 months. — New Grenada.

O. HENNISII, Bolfe. — An interesting species, collected by Hr. Hennis. "It' 

 closely resembles 0. odoratum, but its real affinity is with 0. crinitum, as the 

 . shape of the lip is very similar in the two, while both possess a peculiar boarded 

 crest, consisting of numerous filiform or thread-like hairs." — Peru, Ecuador {?) ' 



O. HINNUS, Bchh.f. — A curious plant with " spider-like" flowers. " Sepals 

 and petals narrow lanceolate, undulate, yellow and cinnamon-coloured; the 

 narrow lip is yellow and cinnamon-coloured, acviminate from a rather narrow , 

 sub-hastate base." It first flowered in the collection of the late J. Day, Esq. — 

 Native country not stated. 



O. HISTRIONICUM, Bchh.f. — A lovely natural hybrid of the luteo-purpureum 

 section, which was first flowered by Baron Sir J. H. W. Schroder. It is 

 described in the Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd ser., 1887, i. p. 512 : — "The ground 

 colour of the sepals and wavy toothletted erose petals is a whitish, lightest, 

 undecided ochre ; a most elegant border of deep sepia-cinnamon spots runs
