Probably obtained from Cypripedium barbatum and C. Druryi, but by an 

 oversight the parentage was not recorded, and refuge was taken in this name.

Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1877, vol. viii. p. 456. 



Eaised at Chelsea from Cypripedium Hookerse crossed with C.

Gard. Chron. 1892, vol. xii. p. 622 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee); Orchid

Eaised by Seden from Cypripedium (Selenipedium) x Sedenii, porphy-

 this distinct species was a parent. 



This occurred during the year 1892.

A hybrid of the Selenipedium group, from Cypripedium Lindleyanum 

 of Mount Eoraima, and C. (Selenipedium) x Sedenii candidulum, three 

 distinct species being concerned in the parentage. 



The dorsal sepal is cream-white mottled with light rose for two-thirds of 

 its length ; the petals are about 3 in. long, light rose pink with a white 

 medium line, and the helmet-shaped lip is rose-pink with yellowish-white 

 lobes dotted with crimson.
