Cypripedium X Dallemagnei Horv., supra. 
he new hybrid figured in the present plate was obtained from the 
fertilisation of C. Spicerianum with the pollen of C. Lowianum. 
We see that the hybrid is about intermediate between its parents, 
having much of the elegance of C. Spicerianum, both in form and colour, but 
in size somewhat approaching C. Lowianum. 
The character which gives to C. x Dallemagnei its particular charm is the 
graceful contrast produced in the centre of the flower, clear green spotted with 
blackish purple, and the extremities of the petals and the dorsal sepal, in 
which a rosy violet colour preponderates. The base of the petals and dorsal 
sepal are covered with numerous very curious spots. The lower third of the 
petals bear the same rosy violet spots as are seen in C. Lowianum, and they 
are also somewhat revolute, as in that species. The upper half of the dorsal 
sepal is white, set off with several large rosy purple veins. This organ has 
distinctly the form of C. Spicerianum, but is of larger dimensions. Lastly the lip, 
which is of average size and nearly cylindrical, is green, feebly tinted with 
reddish brown in front, and paler behind. 
C. Dallemagnei unanimously obtained a First-class Diploma of Honour at a 
Meeting of the OrcuiDEENNE, of Brussels, in November 1893.
