THE ORCHID WORLD

ODONTOGLOSSUM JEANETTE. 
Rossii rubescens x amabile heatonense. 
In this marvellous hybrid, which created 
quite a sensation when exhibited by Messrs. 
Charlesworth and Co., on March 14th, igii, 
the dominating influence of O. Rossii is agaui 
in evidence ; the use of the beautiful rubescens 
variety probably accounting for much of the 
intense colouring seen in every part of the 
flower. The sepals and petals are violet- 
purple densely marked with rich dark-brown 
MAXILLARIA LINDENI/E. 
A flower of this elegant species was sent by 
the Curator of the Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Glasnevin, to the Royal Horticultural Society 
on February 28th, igii. This cool-house 
Orchid produces flowers about five inches 
across the sepals, which are pure white ; the 
petals are white, lined with rose-pmk ; lip 
yellow, with the fleshy callous thickly covered 
with an ochreous powder, margined with red, 
blotched and spotted beneath with purple- 
maroon ; column white, marked with purple 
at the apex ; anther cap white 
spots. The hp, which is similarly coloured, 
has a large purple-coloured blotch, and at the 
base a singular bright-yellow blotch v.'hich 
entirely includes the crest, and proves one of 
the most attractive features in the whole 
flower. This wonderful plant has since 
passed into the superb collection of J. Gurney 
Fowler, Esq. 
MAXILLARIA SANDERIANA. 
One of the finest species of the Maxillaria 
genus. The height of the plant is eight to 
fifteen inches, scapes decumbent or semi- 
erect ; flowers very large, often six inches 
across ; sepals and smaller petals white, 
thickly marked with blood-red on their basal 
halves ; lip fleshy, ivory white ; side lobes 
stained with blood-red. It is a native of 
Ecuador, and grows well in the cool-house, 
usually flowering in the month of May. It 
first flowered in the collection of Baron Sir 
Henry Schroder.
