APRIL, 191T.] THE ORCHID KEVIEW. 105 
ODONTOGLOSSUM JEANETTE. 
A verY handsomé hybrid was. exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., 
Haywards Heath, at the R.H.S. meeting held on March 14th last, under 
the name of Odontoglossum Jeanette, and was awarded a First-class 
Certificate. Its parents are O. Rossii rubescens @ and QO. amabile 
heatonense ¢, and as will be seen by the annexed figure, the influence of 
the seed parent decidedly preponderates. The photograph was kindly 
sent by Messrs. Charlesworth, together with one showing the four-flowered 
inflorescence, and part of the foliage. The flowers are of fine shape, and 
the colours remarkably rich. The sepals and petals are tinged with rose- 
purple, and the former are blotched with deep purple-brown, right to the

apex, as in the seed bearer, while the latter are heavily blotched to beyond 
the middle, the apex being rose-purple. The lip is broadly rounded, and 
carmine-purple in colour, with a very large basal yellow area surrounding 
a prominent fleshy crest of the same colour. The side lobes are rather 
small, and angular at the base. The shape of the column, with its broad 
wings, also recalls O. Rossii. It forms an excellent companion to Messrs. 
Charlesworth’s earlier O. Smithii, derived from O. Rossii rubescens ¢ and 
O. spectabile ¢, and figured at page 9 of our fourteenth volume, but is 
darker in colour and shows more of the O. Rossii character.
