THE LADIES' SLIPPER ORCHID. 



Readers will be interested in seeing a photograph of an 



exceptionally fine flower of one of the g^reat rarieties of the 



Yorkshire Flora. It is of an example of the Ladies' Slipper 



Orchid [Cypripediuin calccolus) taken in a remote station in 



Cyprtpedium calceolus. 



Upper Wharfedale. The plant has been observed in three 

 localities in Yorkshire during the past summer, one being" in 

 Wensleydale, north-west Yorkshire. Happily in this station 

 the plant is watched over with loving" care, and the bloom 

 gathered every year to ensure the complete safety of the plant 

 in one of its very few remaining habitats in the north of England.
