Odontoglossum Hebraicum - Anderson's Odontoglossum

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

The Odontoglossum Hebraicum, popularly referred to as Anderson's Odontoglossum, is an example of a naturally occurring hybrid plant, recognized for the remarkable calligraphic pattern that adorns it, which looks like hebraic writing.

Featured in Henry Frederick Conrad Sander's magnificent publication, 'Reichenbachia: Orchids Illustrated and Described', this particular print reflects the peak of orchid studies in the nineteenth century. As 'the Orchid King', Sander made no compromises when it came to documenting such rare plants, ensuring the use of top-notch lithographers of Victorian England.
