84 CYPRIPEDIUM. 



towards the apex ; lip brownish purple. Staminode yellowish with green 

 markings. 



Cypripedium euryandrum, Rchb. in Gard. Chron. IV. (1875), p. 772. Fl. Mag. 



n. s. t. 187 (New Hybrid). Van Houtte's Fl. des Serves XXII. t. 2278. Williams' 



Orch. Alb. VII. t. 301. 



Raised by Seden at our nursery. Well known as one of the most 

 distinct of its race. 



0. Fitchianum.* 



G. HooJcerce x C. barbatum (?) 



"Upper sepal greenish white streaked with lines of deep green; lower 

 sepal similar but smaller ; basal portion of petals bright green with deeper 

 green veins passing upwards into dull purplish red, and with a few 

 blackish warts ; lip yellowish green veined with deep green and suffused 

 with dull purple. Staminode greenish yellow reticulated with deep green." 

 Cypripedium Fitchianum, Williams' Orch. Alb, VIII. t. 350. 



Origin not recorded. 



O. Fraseri. 



G. hirsutisstimum x G. barbatum, or a closely allied species. 

 Raised by Mr. Fraser, of Derncleugh, near Aberdeen, from whom we 

 acquired the only plant saved. The only flower we had was sent to 

 Professor Reichenbach, which, unfortunately, reached its destination during 

 his absence, and became too much withered before any description could 

 be taken. The name was given by the Professor, who subsequently 

 wrote for more materials, which we were unable to supply. 



0. Galatea. 



G. Harrisianwn X C. sp., probably G. insigne Maulei. 



Central and basal area of upper sepal primrose-yellow densely spotted 

 with broAvn, the spots being generally in the direction of the veins, and 

 often confluent, particularly in the central lines, margin pure white, 

 carried right round to the base ; lower sepal pale primrose-yellow with 

 a few small spots towards the base ; petals slightly depressed, filiate at 

 the margin, and Avith a red-brown mid- vein; the superior half reddish 

 brown, the inferior half much paler, the basal portion on both sides of 

 the mid-vein spotted with purple ; lip yellow-brown with deeper veins 

 and reticulations. Staminode with the characteristic tooth of Cypripedium 

 insigne. 



Cypripedium Galatea, Rolfe in Gard. Chron. III. s. 3 (1888), p. 168. 



Raised by Seden at our nursery. It is of the same origin as Cypripedium 

 Electra and C. Orestes, and was the first of the three that flowered. 



* Not seen l>y us. There is evidently an error in the parentage given for this hybrid ; the 

 coloured plate iii the Orchid Albu.m. shows plainly that CypripciUiiiii. couis/uin must have been 

 one parent.
