ODONTOULOSSUM. 549 O. CORDATUM AUREUM, Hort.—A very chaste aud beautiful variety, having the sepals and petals cream colour blotched with deep sulphur-yellow, those near the base being tinged with green; lip pure white except the apex which is also sulphur-yellow.—Mexico. Fig.—OrcJtid Album, xi. t. 489. O. CORDATUM SULPHUREUM, Bchh.f.—A curious variety, in which the flowers have sulphur-coloured sepals, while the petals and lip are white with sulphur-coloured tips and blotches; it was flowered by Mr. F. Sander in 1880. —Mexico. O. CORDATUM SUPERBUM, Hort.—Th'is is a very fine variety of the old and useful 0. cordatum. It produces flower scapes upwards of 2 feet high and very much branched, and in which the flowers are not only larger, but their colours very much richer than in the type. There is a fine plant of this variety in the collection of Baron Sir J. H. "W. Schroder, The Dell, Staines.—Mexico. O. CORONARIUM, Lindl.—A charming and very distinct species, one of the finest in the genus. It has oval compressed shining pseudobulbs and dark

The scape, which ri^es upright from the side of the bulb, is about 1; foot in height, and bears a many-flowered raceme a foot long, loaded with flowers which are nearly 2 inches broad; the sepals and petals reddish-brown edged with yellow, the cuneate retuse lip bright yellow. It does best in a pot or basket in peat, and will continue a long time in perfection. This species is generally considered difficult to bloom, but we think this is due to bad cultivation, since Sir T. Lawrence, Bart., flowers it frequently, grown in a house along with other Odonioglots.—New Grenada. Fig.—Peseatorea. t. il; Warner, &l. Orch. PL, hi. t. i ; Batem. Mon. Odont., t. 27 ; Veitch's Man.
