 0. Papilio. The pseudobnlbs are small roundish obtuse, four- to seven-angled, 

 the leathery leaves cuneate oblong acute dull green

 long and knotty-jointed, and bears flowers resembling 

 those of 0. Papilio ; the dorsal sepal and petals are 

 narrow linear, all turned upwards, crispy, yellow at 

 the base, dark brown on the upper part ; the lateral 

 sepals deflexed, ligulate-acute, strongly undulated, 

 pale yellow heavily spotted with brown; and the 

 lip, which is beautifully undulated at the edge, is 

 cordate-pandurato, of a pale yellow with a single 

 irregular row of brown spots near the edge. It 

 keeps blooming from the top of the spike for years, 

 and it is often in beauty. This species is best 

 grown in a basket or on a block, and reqviires the 

 temperature of the Cattleya house to grow and 

 flower it successfully. — Central America.

 longer, yellow at the base and at the apex, white in the middle, with purple- 

 mauve partly thicker bars, while the base and top are adorned with purple- 

 brown bars and spots." It flowered in the nurseries of Mr. William • Bull,
