Odontoglossum Georgius Rex. 



Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., at the recent 

 Holland House Show. Originally imported 

 from Singapore by Messrs. Loddiges as far 

 back as 1840 it was described by Lindley two 

 years later. The outer surfaces of the sepals 

 and petals are covered with white wool, 

 giving it the appearance of a cloth-like 

 garment, from which the specific name is 

 derived ; the mner surfaces, which are smooth, 

 are of different shades of golden-brown ; the 

 lip is dark brown, the edges being paler ; the 

 column is green, and the foot tinged with 

 orange.

Anguloa RolFEI. — The appearance of 

 this natural hybrid between Ruckeri and 

 Cliftoni is not unexpected, for in a consign- 

 ment of Anguloas collected by Mr. Kromer 

 and sent home as Ruckeri a plant of Cliftoni 

 appeared, thus proving their existence in the 

 same locality. 



Odontoglossum Georgius Rex. — This 

 remarkable Odontoglossum hybrid, unfortu- 

 nately of unknown parentage, was originally 

 exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth and Co. 

 at the Chelsea Show, 191 3, when it received 

 an Award of Merit. Since then the plant has 

 considerably increased in size, the largest bulb 

 measuring 65 inches in circumference, while 

 the broadest leaf is 3} inches in width. The 

 elegant branching spike carried no less than 

 28 flowers, each about 4^ inches across, the 

 rich claret-purple blotching showing effec- 

 tively on the whitish ground. When exhibited 

 by the present owner, Mr. J. Gurney Fowler, 

 at the recent Holland House Show, it received 

 a First-class Certificate and a Lindley Medal 

 for culture.
