14. nudicadle, 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. 13:297. B.M. 1633; 3035 

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

 croeeum). The following varieties are advertised in 

 the trade : Album, aorantlacum, coccineum, crdcenin, 

 striatum and sulphdreum. Double forms in the various 

 colors are advertised. Older names which are likely to 

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

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

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

 to alpinum. The name "nudieaule" refers to the lack 

 of Ivs. on the stem which distinguishes this and the 

 Alpine Poppy from the common Corn Poppy of Europe. 

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

 for P. nudieaule.

1.5. alpinum, Linn. Alpine Poppy. Typically a fra- 

 grant white-rtd. 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: 



PAPHIOPEDILUM 1209 



albifldrum. album, aurantiacum, flaviildrum, fl4vum, 

 Pyrenaioum, roseum :ind rubrum. P. liiteum, Hort. EU- 

 wanger aii.l Barry, belongs here, but P. luteum of the 

 botanists i- the Wilsh Poppy, Meconopsis Cambrica. 



10. 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. PSrsioum, 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. CaucasicHm. 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-rid. variety of the common 

 Poppy.— i*. maculatum, var. superbum, Haage & Schmidt, is 

 presumably a form of one of the common species. ^^ jj
