Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Odontoglossum cristatum, Lindl. (Oncidium cristatum, Beer). Lvs. linear-lanceolate, a little shorter than the many-fld. scape: sepals and petals lanceolate-acuminate, yellow, spotted with brown; labellum oblong-lanceolate, white; apex and margin brown, with purple striae, with a digitate crest on the disk; wings of the column semi- ovate or subquadrate. Peru. I.H. 17:21. Var. Dayanum, Reichb. This is colored like the type, but the lip is rhomboid, apiculate, serrate, and the teeth of the crests on the labellum cross each other like the bristles on the nearly closed leaf of Dionaea muscipula.
