Rilth. f. Odontoglossum crispum (Lindl.) \EOLLM. It is well known that we were not aware of theimmense richness of variation this splendid Orchidoffers. The one set of varieties has usually smallerflowers, \ery often, nearly always, of a much strongersubstance, always with a blunt lip. Those are theBlimtii, dedicated to Mr. Blunt, who is so famousfor having sent that glorious stock of Lrclia clegans^^?hich is one of the quite unique marvels of the Dayancollection, all those Catileya Milleriana, that freshcollection ol glorious Oncidium Gardneri that cameimdcr the hammer as much inferior O. curtuni, sothat there was a deception in favour of the purchaser—not a very common caic. I have just now at hand two. Fig. 7.—CYPRirEDlUM (see v. 40.) a veiy light whitish sulphur. The sepals bear a lewcinnamon blotches. Lip broad, cuneate at base,obscurely pandurate, toolhletted, with two bidentateancipitous linear diverging keels before the disc, havingenclosed a thick tumour and each outside, archingtowards the base, thickened furrowed plates, show-ing small obscure teeth at the rounded outer whole of this callus is orange-coloured, and thereis a dark cinnamon blotch on the disk in front. Columnwings nearly square, with very small crenulations anda row of brown spots. The plant is, of course,inscribed to its lucky discoverer. It is a grand thingto find now-a-days a new Odontoglossum in thehilly, much trodden environs of Ocafia, which in sometime may be as famous for its destroyed Orchid flora • Odotito^hssum Horstnani, n. sp.
