10 NEW, RARE, AND BEAUTIFUL ORCHIDS OF COSTA RICA. 
nite identification of the true Odontoglossum 
Schroederianum from no less an authority 
than Mr. Rolfe, based on herbarium material 
and a sketch I sent to Kew last year. With 
these two distinct but nevertheless similar 
plants, we have another addition to the many 
morphological enigmas in orchid history. In- 
deed, both plants, although placed by a too 
artificial classification into two different gen- 
era, are nevertheless almost identical except 
in size; and the funny distinction is, that the 
plant of Odont. Schr. is nearly three times as 
Odontoglossum. 
0. carniferum.—This species, although plentiful 
in its native places, is from one of those local- 
ities where my usual collectors would never 
go; and as, in these cases, I depend upon pure 
chance, I can not fix a low price on it. On 
certain occasions I may be able to furnish it 
much cheaper than quoted in the list, while at 
other times I may be unable to get it for any 
money. Intermediate ; much light; dry in 
winter. 
ONCIDIUM KRAMERIANUM COSTARICENSE. THE TRUE BUTTERFLY ORCHID. 
large in all its parts, while in Miltonia it is 
the flower which is in exactly the same pro- 
portion —i.e., nearly three times as large as 
that of Odonto. Schr.; but [ never sent the 
small-flowering form out—only the large- 
flowering Miltonia Schroederiana (although 
under the name of Odontoglossum); thus the 
thing was practically all right. Culture: 
Miltonia Schr. needs the same treatment as 
Miltonia Endresi, except that it likes rather 
more light. 
Mormodes. 
See Catasetum. 
0. Chiriquense, Rchb.—A large-flowering form of 
O. coronarium. Needs the same treatment as 
Miltonia Endresi, with more light. 
0. cordatum, var.—Having seen some time ago a 
flower of it, [can at this moment do nothing 
but certify to the existence of that handsome 
species in Costa Rica. 
0. Krameri.—A lovely dwarf: sort with lilac 
flowers. Lately, when the government open- 
ed a new road, it was found and shipped in 
larger quantities than before. Needs the gen- 
eral culture of the Odontoglossums, but with 
more heat, the warmer end of the intermedi-
