CYPEIPEDIUM x MEDEIA. 



Gard. Chron. 1895, vol. xvii. p. 199 (Chapman's List of Hybrid Orchids). 

 Eaised from Cypripedium Spicerianum and C. hirsutissimum. 



CYPEIPEDIUM x MELANCHUS. 



Gard. Chron. 1893, vol. xiii. p. 456 (Report of E.H.S. Orchid Committee); Orchid 

 Review, 1893, vol. i. p. 147. 



Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium Hookerae and C. Stonei, the latter 

 being the pollen parent. The dorsal sepal is almost of the same shape as 

 that of C. Stonei, but is suffused with olive-green and the stripes are less 

 distinct. The petals are broader than in C. Stonei, and bright purple- 

 brown with numerous small spots. The lip is veined with light brown on 

 a paler ground. The flower resembles the pollen parent, and the 

 influence of the seed parent is chiefly seen in the foliage. 



CYPEIPEDIUM x MELIS. 



Orchid Review, 1895, vol. iii. p. 320. 

 Eaised from Cypripedium Boxallii and C. philippinense. 



CYPEIPEDIUM x MEEOPS. 



Orchid Review, 1894, vol ii. p. 159. 



Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium ciliolare and C. Druryi. The 

 flowers are pale buff yellow with red-brown blotches and stains. 



CYPEIPEDIUM x MICEOCHILUM, Bchb.f. 



Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1882, vol. xvii. p. 77 ; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. iv. p. 92, 

 with fig. ; Diet. Ic. des Orchidees, Cypripedium, pi. 17. 



Eaised from Cypripedium niveum crossed with the pollen of C. Druryi, 

 and first flowered in 1882. 



One of the most distinct of hybrids well-nigh intermediate between the 

 two parents, the lip is nearly as in C. Druryi, white, veined with pale 

 green, but very small. 



CYPEIPEDIUM x MILO. 



Gard. Chron. 1894, vol. xvi. p. 670 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; Orchid 



Review, 1895, vol. iii. p. 30. 



Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium insigne Chantinii and C. cenanthum 

 superbum ; there are many varieties, but none superior to that known as 

 grandis.
