PRESENTATION OF ORCHIDS TO THE QUEEN 
OF BELGIUM { 
During her visit to St. Louis, October 21, her Majesty, 
Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, was presented with a basket of 
orchids by the trustees of the Garden, which, on account of 
the extremely rare types in the Garden collection, surpassed 
anything of its kind in the country. Included in the basket 
were slipper orchids from the famous Brownhurst collection 
donated by Mr. D. 8. Brown in 1918, and two unusual species 
from Siam, Paphiopedilum callosum and its greenish variety 
Brownae. Of especial interest was the Thibet orchid, P. 
Fairicanum, which was lost to cultivation for a number of 
years and rediscovered by an officer of the British expedition 
in the Thibet region. Sanders & Sons, orchid specialists of 
England, valued this orchid so highly as to offer $5,000 for 
its reintroduction. The basket contained two hundred flowers 
representing ten genera and thirty-nine varieties, as included 
in the following list: 
Paphiopedilum Actaeus, G. H.* 
Paphiopedilum Arthurianum, G. H. 
Paphiopedilum Bruno, G. H.
