JUNE, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 169 
ODONTONIA ELWOODII. 
THE annexed figure shows a very interesting and attractive hybrid, which 
was raised by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., from Odontoglossum cirrhosum 
crossed with the pollen of Miltonia Roezlii alba, and was exhibited by them 
at a meeting of the R.H.S. on February 12th, 1907. It was described at 
page go of our fifteenth volume. The photograph was recently forwarded 
to us by Messrs. Charlesworth, and is reproduced natural size. As will be

seen by the figure, the flowers have taken much of the general shape of the 
seed parent, the sepals and petals being rather narrow and acuminate, but 
the lip is considerably dilated, in which the influence of the pollen parent is 
seen. The general habit, and short, few-flowered inflorescence also show 
much of the same influence, though this may not be so apparent when the 
plant becomes stronger. The colour of the flower is white, with a few 
purple spots on the lip.
