196 THE WOODLANDS ORCHIDS 



Zeus (tonsum x Boxallii). — The white globular dorsal 

 rises from a very slender green waist, with a broad dark- 

 crimson line up the centre. Petals dark coppery in the upper 

 half, pale below. Slipper dusky. 



Annie Measures (bellatulum x Dayanum). — Dorsal 

 yellowish, outlined white, covered with slender purple lines 

 and dots. Large smooth petals, netted over with small 

 crimson dots in a pattern. Slipper narrow, dull crimson 

 above, white toe. 



Frau Ida Brandt (lo grande x Youngianum). — The large 

 dorsal, white at the edges, is suffused with green and purple ; 

 the long petals, green and purple, are depressed. Heavy spots 

 of crimson -brown, furnished with stiff hairs, cover them. 

 Handsomely reversed at the tip. Slipper greenish-coppery. 



Adrastus (Leeanum x Boxallii). — Here the large white 

 dorsal with green base is heavily blotched with red-brown in 

 the centre, lightly at the sides. The closely drooping petals, 

 yellowish green, have the upper half splashed and mottled 

 with a lively brown almost obscuring the ground-colour, 

 which reappears in the lower half. Lip green at toe, 

 coppery above. 



Athos (parentage unknown) has an odd colouring — 

 ochreous- green sepals, outlined with white and profusely 

 dotted with brown ; petals bright ochre, the upper length 

 scored with lines of raw sienna. The lip similar. 



Arthur ianum pulchellum (Fairieanum x insigne Chantinii). 

 — The green dorsal is thickly dotted all over with brown ; 

 the tip falls over, showing its white underside. Petals 

 depressed, greenish, charmingly frilled, clouded and lined 

 with copper -brown above, spotted with copper below. 

 Slipper greenish, handsomely veined and marbled in a soft 

 coppery tone. 



Astraea (laevigatum x Spicerianum). — Dorsal white, with 

 a pale green base, whence a heavy radius, maroon in colour.
