14. nudicaule, Linn. ICELAND POPPY. Fig. 1639. 

 Typically a yellow-fld. arctic perennial, more robust 

 than the next, with divisions of the Ivs. entire or spar- 

 ingly cleft, and capsule short, thick and roundish. In 

 America this form is found as far south as southern 

 Colo, on the peaks of the Rockies. Gn. 26:464; 24, p. 

 342; 28, p. 58; 42, p. 584. V. 18:297. B.M. 1633; 3035 

 and R.H. 1890:60 (P. croceiim). F.S. 10:1017 (as var. 

 croceum). The following varieties are advertised in 

 the trade : album, aurantlacum, coccineum, crdceum, 

 Striatum and sulphureum. Double forms in the various 

 colors are advertised. Older names which are likely to 

 reappear are vars. luteum, puniceum, and rubro-auran- 

 tiacum, B.M. 2344. P. crdceum, Ledeb., a native of the 

 Altai Mts., is a form nearer to P. nudicaule than it is 

 to alp i num. The name "nudicaule" refers to the lack 

 of Ivs. on the stem which distinguishes this and the 

 Alpine Poppy from the common Corn Poppy of Europe. 

 P. Greenlandictim, Hort., is possibly a catalogue name 

 for P. nudicaule. 



1639. Iceland Poppy, Papaver nudicaule (X%). 



15. alpinum, Linn. ALPINE POPPY. Typically a fra- 

 grant white-fld. perennial of the European Alps, of 

 dwarfer habit, with divisions of the Ivs. cut into many 

 fine and narrow secondary divisions, and a longer and 

 narrower capsule approaching club shape. Gn. 24:410. 

 L.B.C. 5:434. The following varieties are advertised: 



albifldrum, album, aurantiacum, flavifldrum, flavum, 

 Pyrenaicum, rdseum and rubrum. P. luteum, Hort. Ell- 

 wanger and Barry, belongs here, but P. luteum of the 

 botanists is the Welsh Poppy, Meconopsis Cambrica. 



16. Pavoninum, Fisch. & Meyer (P. Pavdnium, Nichol- 

 son Diet. Gard.). PEACOCK POPPY. Annual, sparsely 

 hispid-pilose: Ivs. pinnately parted, the divisions ob- 

 long-linear and incised-toothed: petals scarlet, dark- 

 spotted : capsule minute, ovate: stigmatic rays 4-5. 

 Sandy places of Turkestan and Afghanistan. G.C. 

 II. 26:329. Botanically it is very distinct by reason 

 of 2 short, horn-like appendages, one on each sepal 

 near the tip on the back. Int. 1886 by W. Thompson, 

 Ipswich, Eng., who added the following points: "dwarf, 

 1 ft. high, neater and less weedy than most annual Pop- 

 pies : petals with a gray spot at the base and a horse- 

 shoe-shaped band of black. In the early part of the 

 day the flower seems to have a white eye, surrounded 

 by one complete ring of black." A good plant produced 

 100 flowers. 



17. Persicum, Lindl. Biennial, setose-hispid: stem 

 tall, branching, pyramidate : Ivs. pinnately parted : 

 buds oblong: calyx setose: petals overlapping at the 

 margin : capsule large: stigmatic rays 5-6. Persia. 

 B.R. 19:1570 (petals brick-red, with or without a white 

 spot at the base). This has been, and may still be, con- 

 fused in the trade with P. Caucasicum. Both are glau- 

 cous, and both advertised in England, but they are 

 biennials. 



P. album, Hort. Bridgeman, is presumably a double white- 

 fld. variety of the Opium Poppy. P. coccineum, Hort. Bridge- 

 man, is presumably a double scarlet-fld. variety of the common. 

 Poppy. P. maculdtum, var. superbum, Haage & Schmidt, is 

 presumably a form of one of the common species. ^_ j^

PAPHlNIA (Paphos, city of Cyprus, sacred to Venus). 

 Orchidacece. A rare and pretty genus of orchids, having 

 the habit of small Lycastes. The curiously shaped fls. 

 are borne on pendent scapes which are mostly 2-fld. 

 Sepals and petals similar, spreading; mentum obsolete:, 

 labellum uppermost in the flower. They may be easily 

 grown with Lycastes, and should be planted in fibrous 

 peat and moss. During the growing period they require 

 a liberal supply of water. 



cristata, Lindl. Pseudobulbs ovate, 1-3-lvd.: Ivs. 

 lanceolate, 4-6 in. long: scapes pendent, 1-2-fld. : sepals 

 and petals lanceolate, acuminate, spreading, the latter 

 a little smaller ; all streaked above and transversely 

 banded below with deep crimson or chocolate-brown 

 markings on a whitish ground ; labellum much smaller, 

 chocolate-purple; the 2 lateral lobes oblong, pointed, 

 half spreading, separated from the middle lobe by a 

 deep constriction; middle lobe triangular-rhomboid, 

 with an erect crest and clavate glands on the disk, and 

 bordered in front by a fringe of clavate hairs. June- 

 Aug. Trinidad. B.M. 4836. B.R. 21:1811 (as Maxil- 

 laria cristata). 



rugdsa, Reichb. f. Pseudobulbs small, rounded: Ivs. 

 small, linear, acuminate: fls. waxy, creamy white, cov- 

 ered with red spots, which run together in blotches. 

 Colombia. 



grandifldra, Rodrig. (P. grdndis, Reichb. f.). Fls. choc- 

 olate-brown, striated on the lower half of the sepals and 

 petals with greenish yellow and cream color, margins 

 cream: labellum dark purple at the base, with an ob- 

 long, cream-colored middle lobe, and a pair of small 

 lobes on each side. Brazil. G.C. III. 14:561. -A curi- 

 ous orchid. 



P. Lawrenciana = Lycaste Lawrenciana ?

PAPHIOPEDILUM (Paphinia (above) and word for 

 sandal). Orchidacece. A section of Cypripedium sepa- 

 rated by Pfitzer. It is distinguished by the 3-loculed ovary 

 and by the conduplicate arrangement of the Ivs. in the
