C. Lowianum with the addition of some red-brown spots at the base of 

 the front lobe of the lip, which show the influence of C. grandiflorum.

Syns. C. x Euryades. 

 C. x Hera.

Raised by Seden from Cypripedium x Leeanum and C. villosum Boxalli, 

 and exhibited in February 1892 under the name of C. X Hera, but 

 owing to another variety already bearing that name it was changed to that 

 which it now bears.

Gard. Chron. 1892, vol. xiii. p. 744 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; Orchid 



Review, 1893, vol. i. p. 61. 



Eaised from Cypripedium insigne and C. Druryi, with much resemblance 

 to the first-named parent. A great improvement on the original hybrid is 

 known as jffison giganteum.

 var. CALUEUM. 



Syns. C. X calurum, Rchb.

Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium (Selenipedium) longifolium and 

 C. x Sedenii. The very curious and beautiful petals, resembling C. longi- 

 folium, but longer and twisted, suggested the name given by Professor 

 Eeichenbach. 



The type was raised by Mitchell, gardener to Dr. Ainsworth, of 

 Manchester. 



CYPEIPEDIUM (SELENIPEDIUM) x ALBO-PUEPUEEUM, 



Rchb. f.

Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium (Selenipedium) Schlimii and the first 

 hybrid Cypripede (C. x Dominianum) of the Selenipedia group. 



The influence of the pollen parent preponderates in the form of the 

 floral segment, and that of the seed parent in the colour.
