THE ORCHID WORLD. 



[July, 1912. 



rich collection of F. Menteith Ogilvie, Esq., 

 by whom it was exhibited at the Royal Inter- 

 national Horticultural Exhibition, igi2. 



Many Orcliidists will wonder what the dedi- 

 catory name has to do with Orchids. They 



will not be astonished at the connection 

 when they know it bears one of the christian 

 names of Mr. H. H. Smith of the firm who 

 raised it.

KILBURNHANUM 



Here again, by a lengthy process of deduc- 

 tion, we have a very mixed up ancestry 

 containing all the factors of Lambardeanum 

 but coupled in different manner, and, there- 

 fore, producing a dif- 

 ferent result. 



In this we have 

 almost a similar ar- 

 rangement of colour 

 in the sepals and 

 petals, but in the 

 former there are dis- 

 tinct traces of the 

 recent Vuylstekei in- 

 fluence, there being in- 

 distinct marblings and 

 very small breaks in 

 the great overlay of 

 colour which is of a 

 more lustrous bluish 

 hue though much of 

 the same class, and 

 almost impossible to 

 describe. 



Odontoglossum Kilburneanum 



The lip stands out quite clearly and is 

 different to our former subject, being pure 



white with a shining crimson-brown blotch. 

 This shining of the brown is always traceable 

 m descent from Vuylstekei through illustre as 

 the remains of triumphans. The column is here 

 also crimson-brown. 



The component 

 species in this are : 7 

 crispum, 2 nobile, 2 

 luteo, 2 triumphans, 

 and I Harryanum, 

 making 14 in all. 



This is but a small 

 plant and blooming 

 for the first time, and 

 when grown into a 

 large one will be a re- 

 markably fine thing. 



It is named after 

 Kilbume, a noted 

 Kentish historian, who 

 published his "His- 

 tory" in 1659, and 

 forms a bright spot in 

 Mr. Phillips' collection 

 at The Glebe, Sevenoaks.
