 the form and color of its flowers from P. grandifolius. 



Phakcnopsis Schilleriana, var. vestalis, is a pure white 

 variety, which was described by Reichenbach in vol. xvii. 

 of Gardeners' Chronicle from a plant imported by chance 

 among; a batch of the type. A second plant was imported 

 in the same way by Messrs. H. Low & Co. about four years 



ago, and this was shown in flower by the Cla]iton firm. It 

 differs from the type in having;, less g;ray marbling on the 

 leaves, a green, instead of purple, under surface, and 

 green-tipped roots. The plant had a scape a foot long 

 bearing six flowers. Its value was set down.at fifty guineas. 

 Cypripedium conco-lawre is a hybrid between C. con- 

 color and C. Lawrencianum, raised by Sir T. Lawrence.
