Crispum Dayanum.—The sepals have a large irregular patch of darkest mauve in the centre, the petals a spot or two of the same colour and a streak at the base. The lip is white.
Old-fashioned people have not yet learned to call Odontoglossum vexillarium a Miltonia. To avoid confusion I will give it no generic name at all. It should be observed, however, that in our collection these plants are ‘grown cool’ all the year round. Among the most important are:—
Vexillaria Cobbiana.—Pale rose with white lip.
Vexillaria Measuresiana.—All white save the golden ‘beard.’ Perhaps the handsomest of its rare class.
Vexillaria rubella.—Deep rose. Valuable for its habit of flowering in autumn.
