Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...an unheated house. The quantity found sufficient for Odontoglots is enough for them. They must have a distinct rest; but the wooded hills they inhabit even in the tropics are not burnt up like the plains. They must be watched more carefully, therefore, to prevent shrivelling. Water should be given not less than once in ten days, perhaps once a week. All flower from the upper part of pseudo-bulbs made last year or in years previous. Until these are quite unmistakably dead it is rash to cut them off, for buds appear in their season under the most unpromising conditions.

White, with a purple patch on the lip. 5s. Hilli. Vide Speciosum. Infundibulum (funnel-shaped).--Large, handsome flowers, white, with a yellow or orange blotch on the lip. April to June.
