January, 1907.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 27 
ODONTOGLOSSUMS FROM BRUSSELS. 
FLowers and photographs of several beautiful seedling Odontoglossums 
have been sent to us by M. Lucien Linden, Brussels. 
O. CRISPUM TRIOMPHE DE MOoOoRTEBEEK, of which both flower and 
photograph are sent, is said to have been obtained from O. crispum Reine 
Emma xX O. c. Prince Albert, and thus is from the same cross as O. c. 
Madame Linden (Gard. Chron. 1906, ii. p. 419, fig. 156). The flower sent 
is of excellent shape and remarkable richness of colour, the sepals and 
petals being broad, and the ground colour suffused with pink, but largely 
obliterated except at the apex by confluent vinous-purple blotches, a large 
area across each petal being one solid mass of colour. The lip is yellow in 
the centre, and has several large blotches. It should develop into a great 
beauty when the plant becomes strong. 
O. Cc. EMINATUM, represented by a photograph only, is very similar to 
the preceding in respect of markings, but the segments are not quite so 
broad, and the apex is more acute, while the colour is described as white 
with ‘‘ dark havana silk” blotches. The origin is not stated, but we should 
judge that it came from the same capsule as the two mentioned above. 
O. c. JEAN LINDEN (photograph only) is larger, and has longer sepals 
and petals, with the blotches lighter and more broken up, and thus showing 
more of the ground colour. It is described as white and pink, with reddish 
brown blotches, and is said to be a cross between O.c. Lindeni and O. c. 
primatus. It was exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting held on December 11th 
have been derived from O. crispum X O. X Coradinei Lindeni, and thus 
is a form of O. X crispodinei, figured at page 241 of our thirteenth volume. 
It is of rather better shape, and the sepals have each two large blotches 
instead of a single one. The ground colour is ivory-white, and the blotches 
dark cinnamor brown. A second is derived from O. crispum X O. Ander- 
sonianum, and thus.is a form of O. X. Stewartianum, figured at page 120 of 
our last volume. It has, however, rather narrower, more acuminate 
segments, which are almost as regularly blotched as in O. gloriosum. The 
ground colour is ivory white, and the spots deep red-brown. Had it 
appeared as a wild form it would have been referred to O. X Andersonianum, 
The third is derived from O. crispum X O. X Wilckeanum, to which cross 
has been assigned the name of O. X mirum, though the one first raised by 
Mr. Crawshay was quite unspotted, indeed like a poor O. crispum. This, 
however, is a very handsome thing, having broad segments, white in colour, 
with a few very large red-brown blotches on the sepals, smaller, more 
numerous ones on the petals, and one very large blotch on the front of the
