1854 (Bompl. ii. p. 99). It flowered in the collection of the Rev. J. B. 
Norman, Whitchurch Rectory, Edgware, in 1875, when Reichenbach 
remarked: ‘It was flowered very long since at Tooting with Messts. 
Rollisson, who sent it to Consul Schiller.” The species is allied to 
O. gloriosum, but has longer and more acuminate segments. The ground 
colour is greenish-yellow, copiously spotted with light cinnamon-brown.- 
It is said to grow and flower very freely. The species is very rare in 
cultivation at the present time. R.A
