DESCRIPTIVE LIST. 



229 



A. Cypripedium biflorum. Mt. Ophir. 



This is one of the barbatum group, and is by some con- 

 sidered only a variety of that species. The flowers are 

 produced two on a stem, are very bright in color, and last 

 long in perfection. We have a plant that for two years 

 has never been out of bloom. 



B. Cypripedium Bullenianum. Borneo. 



A small-growing species with very bright spotted 

 foliage, which indeed is its chief merit, for the flowers 

 are dull-colored. 



Cypripedium Chantinii. 



A seedling from C. insigne. Free growing ; flower re- 

 sembling its parent, but with more white and brighter. 

 A rare plant. 



A. Cypripedium caridnum. Peru . . B. M., 5466. 



Fl. des Ser., 1648. 



This plant, which is also called Cypripedium Pearcii, 

 is very distinct from all others ; the root-stocks are creep- 

 ing, the foliage long and grassy. The flowers are green, 

 purple, and white, in two to five-flowered spikes, and 

 though small are very pretty. 



This species is very easily grown in a cool house, and 

 is very desirable.
