ODONTOGLOSSUM CRISPUM LADY JANE. 



We are now able to give a figure of the remarkable Odontoglossum 

 crispum] Lady Jane, from the collection of J. Wilson Potter, Esq., of 

 Croydon, to which a First-class Certificate was given at the recent 

 Temple Show. The plant first flowered in July, 1900, and was exhibited 

 at [a. meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, and described in our 

 pages (viii., pp. 250, 277). It was then feared that it might be an 

 accidental sport, and would not flower true on the 



fear proved groundless, for a year later it flowered again in greatly 

 improved condition, besides retaining all its remarkable character. A 

 flower sent in proof of this measured 3f inches across its broadest diameter 

 (O.R., ix., p. 221). At the recent Temple Show it again appeared, bearing 

 a fine compact spike of seven flowers, and there can no longer be any 

 doubt of its permanence. The illustration is prepared from a photograph 

 taken by Mr. J. Gregory, of Croydon, and shows its remarkable character.
