ODONTOGLOSSUM OSSULSTONII SHRUBBERY VAR. 
THE annexed figure represents the handsome Odontoglossum Ossulstonii 
Shrubbery var. (spectabile x Pescatorei Charlesworthii), which received a 
First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. on April 11th last, when exhibited 
by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., as recorded at page 148. It is reproduced 
from a photograph kindly sent by Messrs. Charlesworth. The flower is 
large and of excellent shape, the segments being very broad ; the sepals,

however, had begun to reflex when the photograph was taken. The lower 
two-thirds of the sepals and petals are very heavily blotched with claret 
purple, the tips and a few markings below being white. The upper half of 
the lip is white, and the base rich red-brown, with a yellow crest, and some 
pale lines near the margin. The influence of O. Hartryanum is well shown 
in the crest and base of the llp, also in the colour of the segments. It is 
one of the finest forms of this variable and beautiful hybrid which has yet 
appeared.
