ODONTOGLOSSUMS FROM LOOCHRISTI. 
— 
WE have now pleasure in giving figures of the three handsome Odonto- 
glossums for which M. Ch. Vuylsteke received First-class Certificates at 
the recent Temple show, these being reproduced from a photograph taken 
by Mr. F. W. Rolfe, which represents the flowers about natural size.

ardentissimum xX Vuylstekez, and has broad sepals and petals, the greater 
part of each being occupied by a large blotch of a peculiar dull violet 
purple, leaving the apex and margin white. The lip is remarkably broad, 
and is white in front, blotched with violet purple on the basal half. The 
influence of O. Pescatorei is clearly traceable in the shape of the lip and of 
O. Harryanum in the crest. It is of excellent shape and novel in colour.
