O. ORTGIESIANUM, Sander.~A handsome form in the way of 0. Buckericmum.

 the centre with bright maroon. It is named in honour of HeiT Ortgies, of

O. OWENIANUM, iJoZ/e.— Mr. Rolfe in describing this plant does not appear 

 to be certain whether to consider it a natural hybrid or a good species. The 

 .lip is said to be somewhat like that of 0. Pescaiorei. "The white lip, yellowish- 

 white petals, with or without a chocolate blotch, and the sepals with the whole 

 of the disk of the latter colour, give it a very distinctive appearance. Named 

 in honour of Gr. D. Owen, Esq., of Selwood, Eotherham, a zealous orchidist." — 

 Native country iwt stated. 



O. PARDINUM, lAmdl. — One of the most distinct species of the genus, which 

 was first flowered by Lord-Bendlesham in 1878. It produces large ovate com- 

 pressed pseudobulbs, narrow elliptic'oblong acute leaves, and strong branching 

 panicles 3 feet long or more, freely furnished with flowers of large size and of the 

 purest golden-yellow colour, ornamented with several small orange-red ocellated 

 spots' on the much undulated petals and the lip, which latter is, of a deeper 

 yellow than the other parts of the flower. It should be cultivated on account 

 of its distinct colour — a palish yellow lightly spotted, its long lasting properties, 

 and its delicious fragrance. It flowers in March and April. — Peru, Ecuador.

O. PESCATOREI, Xiredem. — A magnificent species, and one of the .choicest 

 gems of the cool Orchid house. It is furnished with small ovate slightly costate 

 pseudobulbs, bearing a pair of lorate leaves a foot in length, and producing 

 branched panicles of richly ornamental flowers during April and May. The 

 sepals and petals are ovate-oblong, undulated, white with a shade of rose, and 

 the cordate oblong cuspidate sub-pandurate lip is white spotted with rose, the 

 disk with its crest being bright yellow streaked with crimson. The panicles 

 sometimes contain as many as a hundred flowers. We ourselves showed a speci- 

 men at Brussels with one hundred flowers expanded at one time; and when 

 grown in this way the plant produces a, charming effect. There are several 

 varieties of it, all of them good. It does best in a cool house, grown in a pot. — ■
