THE ORCHID REVIEW. 113 
ODONTOGLOSSUM ROSSII IMMACULATUM. 
WE have now much pleasure in presenting our readers with a figure of the 
charming little albino of Odontoglossum Rossii, which was described at 
page 132 of our last volume, which appeared in the collection of O. O. 
Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, some time ago. As will be seen by the 
figure, every trace of spotting has vanished from the flower, leaving the 
petals and lip white, and the sepals pale pink, and thus contrasting very

effectively with the typical form. Mr. Wrigley now possesses two small 
plants, and they are the only ones we know of among the thousands in 
cultivation of this popular little species. The photograph here reproduced 
was sent last year by Mr. Wrigley, and was taken by that gentleman’s 
daughter, who is an accomplished amateur photographer. As will be 
observed the plant is not very strong, but whether that is a constitutional 
peculiarity or not we do not know. Continued cultivation side by side 
with the ordinary form will throw light on this point. It also flowered in 
the previous year and showed precisely the same character, so that the 
peculiarity is evidently permanent. The species is well known as one of 
the best of the Mexican Odontoglots, and succeeds well cultivated in 
hanging pans in the Cool house. It has several varieties, and there is also 
a natural hybrid between it and O. maculatum, known as O. X Humeanum. 
The present variety is a very interesting addition to the group.
