gn the first volume of the Lindenia, a variety of C. Lawrenceanum 
has already been figured, namely, the magnificent variety Hyeanum, 
: which had just flowered for the first time in our houses, and was 
aedieared to Mr. Jures Hys, the well-known Ghent amateur. Its appearance 
caused a great sensation, and it still remains one of the choicest and most 
distinct forms in the section to which it belongs. 
The new variety, represented in our figure, is also very handsome, and 
is quite distinct and rare. 
The variety Hyeanum may be regarded as a kind of albino. The usual 
red and brown colouring of the type is entirely suppressed, the flowers being 
white and green with a glaucous and somewhat translucent appearance. In the 
variety viride the colours are much more conspicuous and defined. The petals 
are longitudinally divided into an upper dark green half, and a lower half of 
bright greenish yellow, with a brown median line running into a greenish 
yellow tip. The very broad upper sepal is stained from base to middle with 
clear yellow, traversed by deep green lines. The large pouch is a beautiful 
yellow faintly tinged with green, while the whitish staminode has two concentric 
green lines. The leaves are of the ordinary colour, and when first developed have 
some brownish-red lines on the under surface. 
Another magnificent variety, the most beautiful which has yet appeared, has 
just flowered in the houses at Moortebeek and has an immense highly coloured 
upper sepal. It has just been painted for the Lindenia, and obtained a First 
Class Certificate at the January Meeting of the OrcHiDEENNE. We have named 
it C. L. Moortebeekiense. 
Cypripedium Lawrenceanum was discovered by Mr. Bureince, in Borneo, 
in 1878, and is still the most generally cultivated and most popular member 
of the genus, thanks to the beauty of its foliage, and the size and attraction 
of its flowers. It has also been frequently utilised by hybridists, and has been
