THE COOL HOUSE 223 



with many large flowers, bright yellow blotched with pale 

 brown. But the colouring varies greatly. 



Josephinae. — Named after Miss Josephine Measures. 

 White, with a rosy flush ; sepals and petals spotted with 

 chocolate at the base. 



Hunnewellianum. — Small, but very pretty. Sepals and 

 petals pale yellow, profusely dotted with brown ; lip white, 

 with a single brown spot. 



Elegans. — Assumed to be a natural hybrid of Od. 

 cirrhosum and Od. Hallii. The ground colour, faintly 

 yellow, is almost concealed by chocolate spots and patches ; 

 lip white, with a large blotch in the centre. 



Crispum virginale. — Very large and pure white, saving 

 the yellow crest. 



Crispum Measuresiae. — Sepals and petals broad, white, 

 spotted and blotted with reddish brown. Lip unusually 

 large, with a single great brown blotch. 



Edithae. — Rosy white of sepal and petal, bordered with 

 yellow and barred with chestnut ; lip pale yellow, much 

 deeper at the base, with chestnut spots in the centre. 



Crispum Our Empress. — A remarkable variety. Very 

 large, rose colour, heavily blotched with reddish purple ; lip 

 paler, covered with brown spots. 



Crispum Woodlandsense. — A superb example of the 

 ' round- flowering ' type. Sepals and petals very broad, 

 densely spotted with cinnamon-brown ; lip short, broad, 

 similarly spotted. 



Crispum magnificum. — Sepals pale rose ; petals and lip 

 very faintly flushed ; the whole covered with brown spots. 



Bictoniense album. — The ordinary Bictoniense is pretty 

 enough when the lower blooms on the densely clothed spike 

 can be persuaded to last until those above them open. This 

 uncommon sport is much more eff'ective, with sepals and 

 petals of a lively brown, and broad lip of purest white.
