A fresh field was opened to the enterprise of collectors, the spirits of cultivators revived, and the

Of this charming Odontoglossum, which I had the honour to dedicate to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales, there appear to be innumerable varieties. Of these some—like the one figured at Plate XIV.—have crimson spots, others again are spotted with brown, while a third section—like the one represented in the Plate—have flowers of the purest white, relieved only by the rich golden crest of the lip.

The mention of the illustrious traveller's name reminds me of the obligations under which he laid me when I first visited Berlin, in the spring of 1836; for, young as I was, he deigned to pour into my delighted ears all the stores of Orchid-lore collected during his memorable wanderings among the Andes of New Grenada and Peru. Here, he said, the greatest store of beauteous Orchids was to be found, and we are now beginning to realize the truth of his remark. Cool Orchids from the interior of Sout
