Cyp. Fairieanum develops rather slowly, and is a long time reaching the flowering 
stage. For a considerable time it was thought that the species was extinct nat- 
urally, but a few years ago further supplies were found in a secluded part of the 
Khasi Hills, and a larger species from the ranges of Northern Burma. These 
discoveries made it possible for orchid growers to obtain the species at a reason- 
able price. In the colder places it is well to grow Cyp. Fairieanum in a heated 
house. But in the warmer parts of Brisbane it grows quite well in an ordinary 
glasshouse, and in the warmer parts of North Queensland an ordinary bushhouse 
may serve. Give it plenty of light at all times, but protect it from direct sun- 
light. Ample water during the greater part of the year, but keep it fairly dry 
during the Winter months, especially after flowering. 
It blooms in Autumn, and the flowers last for 5 or 6 weeks. 
CYPRIPEDIUM GLANDULIFERUM. Native of New Guinea. 
Another New Guinea variety belonging to the first group. Leaves about 12 to 
15 inches long, very leathery, broadly rounded at the ends, and green in colour. 
The flower scape is two feet or more in length, and hairy and branching. It bears 
numerous flowers of large size, specimens of 9 and 10 inches across having been 
reported. The dorsal sepal, 2 inches long by 1} inches, is bent forward over the 
flower, and is a creamy white striped with brownish-purple. The petals, up to 
about § inches in length, and slightly drooping, are twisted spirally, and are a 
goldish-tinted green in colour with a stripe of deep brown down the middle, hav- 
ing on the edge near the base a series of black spots. The pouch is about 2 inches 
long, and is a glossy, greenish-yellow, lined and blotched with reddish-brown. 
This species is found principally in the hot, moist tropical gorges in Dutch New 
Guinea, and in parts of Papua, principally among the mountain ranges which run 
through the island from North to South, and particularly near Mounts Idenburg 
and Wilhelmina. It requires the same treatment as suggested for Cyp. Chamber- 
lainianum. It flowers in the Summer, and the blooms last about a month. 
CYPRIPEDIUM GODEFROYAE. Native of Cochin China. 
One of the bellatulum type belonging to the first group. A small growing species 
of great charm. The leaves are from 4 to 8 inches long; purple underneath, and 
mottled green and grey on top. Flower scapes short and purple spotted, from 
which the blooms are produced singly. Dorsal petal short, pointed, and roundish. 
Sepals broad, ovate and blunted, somewhat pendulous. Sepals and petals white, 
densely spotted with deep chocolate-purple. The lip is small but shapely, spotted 
all over with purple spots—bright in front and duller at the bottom and the 
rear. 
Same treatment as for Cyp. concolor. 
CYPRIPEDIUM HAYNALDIANUM. Native of Luzon Island. 
A handsome species of the first group, but somewhat of a difficult subject to grow. 
Leaves are about a foot in length, broad and leathery, and dark green in colour. 
Flower scapes, up to two feet tall, green and hairy, bearing up to six flowers. 
The dorsal sepal is oval in shape, pale green with a yellowish tinge, blotched with 
brown at the base, and pinkish at the apex. The petals are about three inches
