There is a very natural section of the genus Paphiopedi- 
lum, differing from all others in having a persistent in- 
florescence, which gradually elongates, producing bracts 
and flowers in succession for a long period. It contains 
three species, two of which, both natives of Sumatra, and 
having marbled leaves, have already been figured in this 
work. The original species, P. Chamberlainianum, Pfitzer 
(t. 7578), has an inflated lip, and the dorsal sepal and 
petals striped, and P. Victoria-Mariz, Rolfe (t. 7573), has 
a more elongated lip, without brown stripes. That now 
figured completes the group, and, though quite similar in 
habit, is markedly different in its glaucous, unmarbled 
leaves, and very hairy petals, blotched with red-purple, 
though the dorsal sepal is without stripes, in this respect 
most resembling P. Victoria-Mariz. 
P. glaucophyllum, J. J. Smith, is a native of Hast Java, 
and was discovered by Mr. J. J. Smith, of the Buitenzorg 
JuLy Ist, 1906.
