198 THE WOODLANDS ORCHIDS 



The only trace of colour appears in broad pink spots at the 

 base of the dorsal, and smaller spots, more profuse, at the 

 base of the petals. On the slipper they are smaller still, set 



along the edge. 



Lawrenceanum-Hyeanum has a broad white dorsal, 

 clouded with green at the base, and marked with handsome 

 green lines. The narrow petals stand out firmly, vivid 

 green, with lines of a deeper shade. The slipper also is 

 green' but pale. Another example is very much larger. 



Lawrenceanum Sir Trevor. — This is no hybrid, but a 

 wonderful variety of the species. The dorsal strangely broad 

 and depressed— squat in fact. White in colour, with superb 

 green lines mounting from the green cloud below, it sits 

 tight over the rectangular petals of dark but vivid green, 

 marked with deeper lines. The slipper is yellowish-green. 



Leucochilum giganteum (assumed to be a hybrid of 

 Godefroyae x bellatulum).— A compact flower, of which the 

 three parts seem equal in size. White, with a faint ochreous 

 tinge ; covered throughout, saving the margin, with crimson 

 spots, which form almost a blotch in the midst of the dorsal. 

 Slipper small and white. 



Leysenianum (barbatum Crossii x bellatulum). —The 

 dorsal is very handsome and striking, bright crimson at top, 

 fading to a dusky base, lined with crimson. The clinging 

 petals, tawny green in the upper length, are washed with 

 crimson in the lower ; all profusely spotted with maroon. 

 Slipper dull crimson. 



Mrs. Fred Hardy (superbiens x bellatulum). — A very 

 dainty hybrid. The dorsal, white with a greenish centre, is 

 covered with interlacing crimson lines dotted with maroon, 

 saving the clear margin. The petals almost form a semi- 

 circle, greenish with a white edge, netted over with pale 

 crimson and dotted with maroon in lines. The slipper 

 greenish, with a pretty pink network round the upper part.
