16 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JANUARY, 1903. 
O. c. PRINCE OF WALES (fig. 7) is a remarkable variety in every 
respect. It was exhibited at a meeting of the R.H.S. in June, 1898, by 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., and received both a First-class Certificate and 
a Cultural Commendation. The plant bore twelve bulbs of enormous 
size, and had been eleven years in the collection before it bloomed. Our 
illustration represents one of the flowers, of exact size. The colour is pure 
white, with a slight tinge of pink on the sepals, and about three light

cinnamon spots on the lip in front of the yellow crest. It is a noble 
variety, and may be described as a giant form of what Bateman, in his 
Monograph of Odontoglossum, called “ White or Weir’s variety,” the colour 
and arrangement of the markings being very similar. Several other white 
forms of more normal size have been named. O. c. virginale represents 
the limit of variation in this direction, as the spots have completely 
vanished, the only colour remaining being the bright yellow disc.
