one that bloomed last year, which is now bearing a capsule, the aim being 
to get a batch of secondary hybrids from such a promising plant. Messrs.

Orange colour. The column is short, as in the Miltonia parent. The 
markings on the basal half of the lip resemble those usually seen in hybrids 
of Odontoglossum Harryanum, but there is a purple suffusion in front of
