ODONTOGLOSSUMS FROM WALTON GRANGE. 
A BEAUTIFUL series of hybrid Odontoglossums is sent from the collection of 
W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. Stevens. There are 
two forms derived from O. sceptrum aureum xX triumphans, fairly inter- 
mediate in shape, with yellow gronnd colour, heavily barred with brown on 
the sepals and closely blotched on the petals, while the lip has a broad red- 
brown Zone in front of tke crest. O. Hallii x Pescatorei has much of the 
Hallii shape, but is smaller, and and the ground colour is white, with much 
brown blotching on the sepals and petals, and a very fimbriate crest, as in 
O. Hallii, but the column wings are broad, white and slightly denticulate. 
The other primary hybrid is a form of O. loochristiense, with lighter yellow 
ground colour, and sparingly blotched with red-brown. O. crispum X 
ardentissimum is most like the latter, and has broad white petals, while the 
sepals are tinged with rose and bear a few round blotches, chiefly near the 
base. The lip is blotched with purple, while both the column wings and 
crest show the Pescatorei influence very clearly. O.crispum x Vuylstekei 
is a neat round flower, with pale yellow ground colour and numerous red- 
brown blotches on the petals, while the broad lip is yellow with a few 
brown blotches. O. x Adriane x Pescatorei has somewhat acuminate, 
white sepals and petals, copiously blotched with dark brown, and a broad 
white lip with a few blotches round the crest, which latter shows much of 
the Pescatorei influence. The column wings are broad, denticulate, and 
blotched with brown on the margin. O. x Wilckeanum x crispum has a 
light yellow ground colour, witha few large red-brown blotches on the sepals 
and petals, and a few small ones on the lip. Had it been a wild plant it
