Cyrtockilum ixioides and pardinum which are rather Odontoglossa, and C. flavescens and stellatum
which are better placed with Oncidium Russellianum in Miltonia.
For the purpose of putting this matter in as clear a light as I can, and because of the enormous
increase of the genus Oncidium itself of late years, from 38 species in 1832 to 101 in 1842, together
with the many repetitions of the same species under different names, now scattered through many
books and many places, I have been tempted to draw up the following abstract of the genus, in doing
which an opportunity has been taken of entirely remodelling it.
