ODONTOaLOSSUM, Continued. 
O. Harryanum. The latest import- 
ant addition to the Odoutoglot fam- 
ily, and a grand and unexpected 
surprise. A i-eally fresh type, as 
Professor Reichenbach deservedly 
called it when it first flowered, but 
it has ever since then become a 
greater favorite with all. It has 
given ample evidence of a free-grow- 
ing and free-flowering habit, and 
will no doubt prove to be a grand 
acquisition, especially for cut-flower 
purposes. Good strong established 
flowering plants, S3.50 and upwards. 
O . Edwardii. One of the rarest types 
of Odontoglots, being so distinct 
from all others. In color, the flow- 
ers, which are borne upon a strong 
pyramid-like spike, ai-e of a peculiar 
blue, with a vei'y conspicuous yellow 
eye ; altogether an odd but pleasing 
contrast. 
O. Roezlii. This most charming and 
ver.y showy Odontoglot, although not 
exactly new, is still one of the grand- 
est. Its lai'ge and showy flowers, of 
many difEercnt soft and pleasing col- 
ors, produced from small and minia- 
ture-like plants, make it one of the 
most interesting Orchids in cultiva- 
tion. We offer some extra strong and very healthy 
specimens, some of which have given as many as thir- 
teen flowers from a single bulb. $.5 and upwards. 
O. vexillarium. This now well-known and much ap- 
preciated showy Orchid is not unlike the beautiful O. 
BiiezUi in its peculiarly marked flowers, but is of a 
much stronger and more robust habit than that va- 
riety. Its grand metal-like colored foliage gives it a 
very distinct appearance. A number of grand speci- 
mens, including the choice varieties of ruhdlum and 
supevlHim, $5 and upwards. See cut in department of 
Orchids for Intermediate Temperature. 
ONCIDIUIU ceboUeta. A quite new introduction, and 
a most distinct and very interesting species, with long 
i-ound leaves, twelve to twenty inches, which are of a 
downward habit of growth ; much like the well-known 
(I. Jiinesianum, but of stronger habit; it bears num- 
berless beautiful flowers of brown and gold, upon large 
branching panicles ; a ver.y striking plant, of easy cul- 
ture. Some strong specimens, and upwards. 
O. crispum. One of the most satisfactory and free- 
flowcriug Orchids, growing upon blocks and rafts with- 
out much care or attention, and giving imposing flow- 
ers all through the .year. We offer some extraordi- 
nary large masses, well established, at So and uiJwards. 
O. macranthum. This most magniflceut Oncidium is 
without doubt the largest and flnest of the genus. 
Flowers from three to four inches in diameter, with 
clawed sepals and petals of a very fleshy texture; the 
upper one of a golden olive brown, the two lateral 
sepals deep orange yellow, while the petals are a clear 
bright yellow, and its rather short lii> of a dark brown

purple; one of the best ever introduced. Strong spec- 
imens, *T.:)U and upwards. 
O. macranthum hastiferum. An improvement on the 
foregoing, with much larger flowers, of more intense 
and richer coloring. 
O. sarcodes. A remarkably flne species, producing its 
masses of rich brown and golden flowers upon branch- 
ing spikes, often six feet long, all through the year. 
It is of free growth. Fine specimens, ?5 and upwards. 
O. splendidum. This rare and noble species is one of 
the grandest of the genus. Somewhat like O. tiiirinum, 
but flowers are larger and handsomer than that variety, 
with a rich and peculiar combination of color. (Jrows 
freely in the Cattlcya house. Strong, well established 
plants, SU) and upwards. 
O. varicosum Rogersii. (True.) This is called the 
''Golden Butterfly," and is much like O. varicDsum in 
appearance and color, though many times larger. It is 
a most charming and showy species, with densely 
branched nodding panicles of rich golden yellow flow- 
ers, as many as upwards of two hundred having been 
counted on a single plant. It is winter flowering, and 
a most desirable Orchid, of easy cultivation in an inter- 
mediate house. Fine strong specimeus, $5 and upward. 
O. Weltoni (Miltimia Warscemczii Weltoni). This, 
though not new, is of such interesting character, both 
in form and color of flower, that we deem it worthy 
of description. Its branching flower scape bears great 
numbers of substantial flowers which remain a long 
time in i)crfection. It is a free and easy grower, and 
needs intermediate temperature. Finely established 
strong plants, j^'J.fiO and upwai-ds.
