lyS THE WOODLANDS ORCHIDS 



Slipper purple above, green below, handsomely lined with 

 crimson. 



Barbato-bellatulum. — Takes after the latter parent in 

 shape, but all purple ; the white-edged dorsal lined and the 

 petals finely spotted with a darker tint. 



Mrs. E. Cohen (callosum x niveum). — All pinkish white, 

 suffused with crimson, lined with crimson and speckled 

 with purple. Slipper carmine-purple. 



Cardinale (Sedenii x Schhmii-albiflorum). — Takes its 

 name from the carmine slipper. White in general colour ; 

 the petals have a rosy base and rosy tips. 



Chrysocomes (caudatum Warcewiczii x conchiferum). — 

 Dorsal greenish-yellow, edged with white. Its tip or crest 

 is most extraordinary, hanging forward like a tongue between 

 high jaws curved and serrated. The ochreous- greenish 

 petals have an edging of crimson and an outer edging of 

 white, prettily frilled and gauffered. They twine and twist 

 through a length of ten or twelve inches, showing the 

 crimson reverse. 



Claudii (Spicerianum x vernixium). — The dorsal is white 

 above, with a strong purple midrib, and a purple flush 

 towards the edge ; the base is olive green. Petals olive 

 green, shaded in a darker hue, and tipped with purple. The 

 slipper purple above, green below. 



Beeckmanii (Boxalli sup. x bellatulum). — The yellow- 

 green dorsal is broadly margined in its upper part with 

 white, and marked profusely with large crimson - brown 

 spots. The petals are depressed, spreading like wings, of 

 madder-purple hue, lined and spotted, the lower margin 

 greenish. Slipper dark purple, with a greenish toe. 



Bellatulum egregium. — Doubtless a natural hybrid. The 

 depressed dorsal is pale green, spotted with pink in lines. 

 Petals and slipper white above, pale greenish below, with 

 large pink spots all over. A most remarkable variety.
