"A Monograph of Odontoglossum" by James Bateman is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This detailed work focuses on the orchid genus Odontoglossum, emphasizing its ecological significance, cultivation challenges, and the various species within this beautiful group of plants. The monograph likely serves both as a catalog of existing knowledge and as a guide for horticulturists and botanists interested in these exotic orchids. The opening of the monograph presents an introduction that contextualizes the increasing interest in orchids during the mid-19th century, particularly after the realization that cool treatment techniques could facilitate the cultivation of temperate orchid species. Bateman highlights the genus Odontoglossum as notable for its exquisite flowers, recounting the efforts and struggles of collectors to obtain live specimens from regions like New Grenada and Peru. He discusses the limitations faced in importing these plants, and the fruitful but challenging history of orchid cultivation, ultimately setting the stage for his comprehensive exploration and illustration of the ‘Odontoglossum’ species.
