Crispum Cooksoni, on the other hand, is white, superbly spotted, or rather blotched, with crimson brown. Perhaps the best of its class.
Crispum Reginae.—Immense. White. The handsome spots, of purplish brown, are more regularly disposed than usual.
Crispum Chestertoni.—Peculiar for a yellow lip, while sepals and petals are white; the former of these heavily splashed, and the latter sprinkled, with red-brown. The lip has a brown blot on the disc.
Rossii aspersum is a natural hybrid of Od. Rossii and Od. maculatum, as is supposed. Sepals and petals faintly yellow, spotted with brown at the base; lip creamy white.
Pescatorei album.—Large. All pure white.
Pescatorei superbum.—A round flower, of great ‘substance’—which means, in effect, that it will last an unusual time. Notable for the deep tone of its purplish markings.
Pescatorei grandiflorum.—Immense. The lip has a yellow dash at base.
Pescatorei splendens.—Sepals and petals white; lip handsomely spotted with purple.
Pescatorei violaceum.—The whole flower is tinted with violet.
Crispum purpureum shows a similar peculiarity, but the tint is purple.
