PRINCIPAL ORCHID HYBRIDS 



distinguished among the C. Spicerianum hybrids by most bright and varied 

 colours. 



The white purple-banded dorsal sepal is inherited from C. Spicerianum 

 as is also the red-brown lip ; the brilliant colour so remarkable in this 

 hybrid is due to the influence of C. villosum Boxalli. 



There are now in cultivation many forms raised since the type 

 appeared, distinguished by varietal names. 



CYPEIPEDIUM x CAPTAIN HOLFOED. 



Gard. Chron. 1899, vol. xxvi. p. 198 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee). 



Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium hirsutissimum and C. superbiens. 

 The large handsome flowers have a decided resemblance to C. hirsutissimum 

 in the dorsal sepal ; the broad sepals are white, tinged with green at the 

 base, densely spotted with dark purple ; the lip is large, of a dull rose 

 colour. 



CYPEIPEDIUM (SELENIPEDIUM) x CAEDINALE, Rchb. f. 



Syns. Phragmopedilum X cardinale, Rolfe. 



Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1882, vol. xviii. p. 488; The Garden, 1885, vol. xxvii. p. 520, 

 pi. 495 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. iv. p. 102; Orchid Review, 1893, vol. i.p. 81, 

 fig. 5; id. 1903, p. 248, fig. 5; Orchid Album, vii. t. 370. 



Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium x Sedenii and C. (Selenipedium) 

 Schlimii albiflorum. 



The richly coloured lip in contrast to the almost pure white sepals and 

 petals, and the elegant form of the flower render this hybrid one of the 

 most attractive of the Selenipedia group. 



CYPEIPEDIUM (SELENIPEDIUM) x CLEOLA. 



Gard. Chron. 1892, vol. xii. p. 744 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee); id. 1893, vol. 

 xiii. p. 8 ; Orchid Review, 1893, vol. i. p. 326 ; Diet. Ic. des Orchidees, Seleni- 

 pedium hybr. pi. 2. 



Eaised from Cypripedium (Selenipedium) Schlimii album and C. reti- 

 culatum (Boissierianum) . The plant has the characteristic habit of the 

 Selenipedium section to which both the parents belong. 



CYPEIPEDIUM (SELENIPEDIUM) x CLONIUS. 



Gard. Chron. 1893, vol. xiv. p. 536 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; Jour, of Hort. 



1893, pp. 394, 395, fig. 59. 



Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium (Selenipedium) x conchiferum and 

 C. (S.) caudatum Wallisii. 



The flowers somewhat resemble those of C. x conchiferum, but have 

 more attenuated petals ; the pouch is clear waxy white with the infolded
