246. Odontoglossum Lindleyanum. Plant pseudo-bulbous; bulbs 4 in. 
long, rather flat, and grooved a little ; leaves in pairs, 1 ft. long and better 
than 1 in. broad. This plant, both in habit and manner of flowering, 
approaches closely to O. constrictum ; it also requires the same treatment 
and temperature.— I believe a Native of Mexico. 
247. Odontoglossum maculatum. Plant pseudo-bulbous ; bulbs 3 in. long, 
and smooth; its leaves are produced singly, 9 in. long and 2 in. broad, of a 
pale green ; the ribs of the leaf are longitudinal, and of a darker green. The 
flower spike is near a foot in length. It succeeds with the same treatment 
and temperature as recommended for the others. — Native of Mexico. 
248. Odontoglossum pulchelJum. Plant pseudo-bulbous; bulbs 2 in. long 
and 1 in. broad, tapering a little to the summit; leaves in pairs, 1 foot long 
and half an inch broad. The flowers are white, with a blotch of yellow in the 
throat of the labellum. They are produced on a spike about 1 ft. long. It 
requires the same temperature as the others. — Native of Guatemala. 
249. Odontoglossum citrosmum. Plant pseudo-bulbous; bulbs 3 in. long 
and 2 in. broad, of a shining green ; leaves dark green. The flowers are 
produced on a spike from 12 in. to 18 in. long, of a snow white, and pale rose 
colour, exhaling a delicate smell of lemons. The same treatment and tem¬ 
perature as the others. — Native of Mexico. 
250. Odontoglossum grande. Plant pseudo-bulbous ; bulbs 3 in. long and 
rather more than 2 in. broad ; leaves in pairs, 8 in. long and about 2 in. 
broad, somewhat undulated ; the flowers are produced on a spike, 18 in. to 
20 in. in length ; sepals 3 in. long, the ground colour pale yellowish green 
barred with brown ; petals same length as the sepals, brown half the length 
from the base, where it joins the column, and the remaining part fine yellow; 
column deep yellow ; labellum at the breast projecting outwards in the form 
of a tooth (from which circumstance the generic name is derived, tooth 
tongue), of a deep yellow with a few small blotches of brown, the remaining 
part of the labellum white, with a few blotches of pale brown. This also re¬ 
quires the same treatment and temperature.— Native of Guatemala. 
251. Odontoglossum Insleayanum. The general aspect of this plant is very 
similar to 0. grande, and it may also be treated in the same manner.— 
Native of Oaxaca. 
252. Odontoglossum jRossii. This is of a dwarf habit, its pseudo-bulbs 
being only 1 in. long and the same broad, of a dark green; the leaves are 
solitary, 3 in. long and 1 in. broad. Its habit of flowering is the same as that 
of 0. membranciceum. It should be grown on small billets of wood, covered 
with sphagnum, and receive a liberal supply of water while growing. Tem¬ 
perature the same as for the others.— Native of Guatemala. 
253. Odontoglossum Iceve. Plant pseudo-bulbous ; bulbs 5 in. long and 
2 in. broad ; leaves in pairs, 18 in. long and a little above 1 in. broad ; the 
flowers are produced on a spike 2 ft. long ; the sepals and petals are an inch 
in length and extremely narrow, the ground colour pale green banded across 
with brown ; the column is pinkish white, and the labellum narrow, though 
upwards of an inch long, with a deep stain of purple at the base, where it 
joins the column, gradually diminishing to a pure white at the apex. It 
requires the treatment and temperature recommended for O. constrictum. —' 
Native of Guatemala. 
254. Oncidium Suttonii. Plant pseudo-bulbous; bulbs 2 in. long and 
rather more than an inch broad, tapering a little to the summit ; leaves in 
twos and threes, but mostly the former, 1 ft long and l in. broad ; the *
