O. SCHRODERIANIUM, Rclib. /.—This distinct and pretty novelty was 

 flowered in 1882 by Baron Sir J. H. W. Schroder, the plant being under the 

 care of his gardener Mr. Ballantine. In their general form the flowers resemble 

 those of 0. tri^udians, between which and 0. Pescatorei it is suggested that it 

 may be a wild mule. The sepals and petals are oblong acute wavy, white with 

 mauve-purple blotches ; the lip is pandurate, broader at the basal part, narrower, 

 obcordate apiculate in front, white with two mauve-purple blotches on the disk, 

 behind which stands the callus, consisting of a plate of radiating spines on each 

 side, yellow with some red spots. It flowers in summer. — New Grenada.

O. SPECTATISSIMUM.— See Odoxtoslos.stjm triumphans. 



O. STAURASTRUW, B,rM>. f. — Imported from New Grenada, and probably a 

 natural hybrid between 0. Lindleyanwm and 0. tripudians. Sepals and petals 

 broader than those of the first-named, light yellowish-green blotched with brown; 

 lip white, mid lobe brown, side lobes light brown at the top. — New Grenada,. 



O. STELLIMICANS, Echb. f. — This, according to Professor Eeichenbach, is 

 a very fine thing, and has turned up out of a batch of 0. Pescatorei ; it may be a 

 mule between this and 0. triumplians, or 0. tripudians, or even 0. Lindleyanwm ; 

 the sepals and petals are lanceolate stellate of a good clear yellow, the petals 

 having a single brown line at the base, and the sepals being washed with 

 reddish-mauve outside, and having a few large dark brown-purple blotches 

 inside ; blade of lip pandurate, white changing to lemon with a few crimson 

 blotches. — Neiv Grenada. 



O. TIGRINUM.— See Oxcidium tigkinuji. 



O. TRIPUDIANS, Bchb. f. et Warsc. — Though scarcely occupying a place in 

 the front rank of Odontoglots, th\s is a really handsome and well-marked species, 

 and, moreover, it is very free-flowering. In growth it resembles 0. Pescatorei, 

 iilong with which it is frequently imported. The pseudobulbs are ovoid-oblong 

 compressed, the leaves narrow lanceolate acuminate, and the flowers, which 

 grow . in simple , many -flowered racemes, are remarkable for the dull yellow- 

 green of the exterior surface and the bright colours of the inner surface. The 

 sepals and petals are oblong elliptic acuminate, the former almost wholly of a 

 rich maroon-brown with only the base and tip yellow, the latter golden- 

 yellow with- two or three broad unequal blotches of maroon-brown ; the lip 

 oblong quadrate, constricted in the middle, the basal part obscurely crenate, 

 the broader rounded apiculate apex erose at the edge, the colour white, having, 

 the region round the calli spotted with a beautiful purplish violet. The calli 

 consist of about ten keels radiating from the claw, the four inner ones produced 

 on to the surface of the basal lobe, and each ends in a spinous process ; the 

 wings of the column are deeply toothed. The plant flowers during the autumn 

 months. — Peru.
