Aucus?, 1913.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 249° 
HYBRID ODONTOGLOSSUMS. 
WE recently gave an account of the interesting collection of John S. Moss, 
Esq., Wintershill Hall, Bishops Waltham (pp. III-117), in which we 
alluded to the numerous blotched Odontoglossums that were being raised 
there. The annexed illustration represents. a group of fifteen forms that 
were in bloom together, and is reproduced from a photograph taken by Mr. 
Kench, Mr. Moss’s able gardener. Though greatly reduced in size, they 
give an excellent idea of the shape and markings of the flowers, and also of 
their relative size, all being photographed on a single plate, post-card size, 
and thus on the same scale. They were cut up and re-arranged by our- 
selves, so as to bring the different kinds together. Figures 41 to 46 were

derived from O. illustrissimum X crispum, and show a wide range of 
variation in the amount of blotching, with smaller differences in size and 
shape. In fig. 46 the sepals and petals are almost suffused with dark purple 
except for a very narrow white margin. Figures 47 to 50 are seedling 
blotched crispums and yary considerably. The one shown in fig.. 48 is 
Particularly promising, but all are good. Figures 51 and 52 are forms of 
QO. Fascinator (Adriane x crispum Mossi), and 51, it will be noticed, is 
Particularly charming. Fig. 53 is O. Doris (Ossulstonii x crispum), and is 
a beautiful white form with a well-shaped lip, and a zone of blotches on the 
sepals and petals. Fig. 54 is O. exultans (excellens x crispum Mossiz),
