Onc. Barkerii.—A remarkably handsome dwarf Orchid from Mexico; the flowers are very large; the sepals and petals rich brown barred with yellow; the lip a bright yellow, about an inch and a half across. It produces its branching spikes of flower during the dull months of winter, which greatly enhances it value, and it lasts six weeks in bloom.
