Odontoglossum grande 
ODONTOGLOSSUM 
The plants included in this section of cool-house Orchids form a group of unusual beauty and utility. 
The genus, closely related to Oncidium and Miltonia, embraces about 100 species originating in the higher 
regions of the Andes, from Mexico and Guatamela to Colombia and Bolivia. Odontoglossum crispum, 
probably the most extensively grown Orchid, is particularly admired for its extremely handsome flowers 
and easy culture. A remarkable number of natural hybrids occur in the family, and intercrossing no doubt 
accounts in large measure for the size and horticultural value of the genus. With few exceptions, the Odon¬ 
toglossum is found in extremely moist situations, where the annual rainfall is excessive and the temperature 
more or less even and cool throughout the year. 
A number of beautiful and rare hybrids adapted to our climate will be found listed below, alphabeti¬ 
cally, with the species.
