O. WATTIANUM, Bolfe.— It has been suggested that this is another of the 

 many natural hybrids probably between 0. luteo-purpureum and 0. Lindleyanum, 

 of both of which it partakes in character. The flowers measure nearly 4 inches 

 across ; sepals lanceolate, acute, yellow blotched with brown ; petals spotted 

 with brown ; lip cordate wavy, creamy-white with one large and several small 

 brown blotches. Dedicated to T. Eossiter Watt, Esq., of The Briars, Chislehurst. —

O. WILCKEANUM, licUh.f. — This is a very distinct and beautiful species, 

 whose long plumose racemes of yellow and brown flowers are very handsome 

 and attractive, as might be expected when Professor Reichenbach says " it is 

 just intermediate between 0. crispum and 0. luteo-purpureum." It was first 

 flowered by M. D. Massange de Louvrex, Marche, Belgium, and is named after 

 his late gardener, Herr Wilcke. The pseudobulbs are rather large ovate-oblong, 

 furnished with ligulate oblong leaves in pairs from the apex, and having radical 

 scapes which spring from the axils of accessory leaves, and bear a stout raceme 

 of over a dozen flowers, which are fully 3 inches across; the lanceolate 

 acuminate wavy sepals are pale yellow with sundry bold blotches of light 

 brown ; the broader petals much serrated at the edges, are of the same yellow 

 colour, but with fewer and smaller brown blotches ; and the denticulate oblong 

 undulated apiculate lip is of a still paler yellow, and has in the front part a 

 roundish oblong blotch of pale brown, the disk being of a deep yellow, with 

 crests consisting of two many-toothed ragged keels. It flowers during the 

 spring months.^ — New Grenada.

O. WILCKEANUM ALBENS, Echh. f.—A. handsome form with flowers 

 measuring 4 inches across, in which the sepals and petals are much broader than 

 in the type, white, heavily blotched and spotted with brown. It appeared in the 

 nurseries of M. C. Vuylsteke, of Loochristi, Ghent.

O. WILCKEANUM LEROYANUM, 7JoZ/e.— Being the first hybrid Odonioglot 

 raised in Europe, this plant is of great interest apart from its claim as a distinct 

 and beautiful variety. We have to congratulate M. Leroy, the able gardener to 

 Baron Edmond de Eothschild, Armainvilliers, Prance, upon his success as being 

 the first to hybridise this most beautiful and interesting genus. Its parents are 

 O. crispum and 0. luteo-purpureum, the result being a beautiful form of the
