CYSEPEDIUM. 



(Spd. Dominianum x ? x Cpd. Chamberlainianutn.) 



Under raising with Swinburne, Winchcombe. Crossed 

 Dec., '95; sown, when ripe, March, '96; germinated 

 May, '96. At the end of Sept., '96, "strong, vigor- 

 ous growing plants, with three and four leaves, some 

 of which are over five inches long, having a decidedly 

 Spd. character." The reverse cross was also tried 

 by him; pods ripened in about 12 months, but the 

 seed failed to germinate. G. Ch., Oct. 10, '96, p. 435.

 10, '96, p. 435.

 gigas (Lawrenceanum 9 X Harrisianum)." O. R., 

 June, '96 (exhibited at Temple Show, May 19, '96). 

 "A record which nobody believes in, for the plant 

 has much of Lawrenceanum, and nothing of Spd- 

 Sedenii x. As a matter of fact, it is identical with a
