Fic. 196. FLOWERS OF CALANTHE VESTITA GIGANTEA. 
Through the hand of the hybridist many additional 
varieties have been introduced of late years. It is, how- 
ever, unfortunate that records of parentage have not in 
many instances been given, and much confusion exists. 
The majority of the newer introductions, it is interesting to 
note, have proved most useful, and in some instances most 
remarkable. 
We append a list of hybrids with their recorded 
parentage :
