names. The variety Klabochorum is a large form more heavily spotted with 
chestnut-brown than the type, while the one called Hrubyanum is nearly white, 
having very few traces of spots on the segments. 
The specific name was given in allusion to the slender tendril-like column 
wings, and its correct spelling has been the subject of some discussion. LINDLEY 
originally spelt it “ cirrhosum ”, to which exception has been taken on the ground 
that there is no “ h ” in the original Greek, though others argue that in the 
latinised form the addition of the “ h ” is necessary. Perhaps the best plan under 
the circumstances is to follow the original spelling, leaving the combatants to 
fight the matter out. 
As regards culture there is really nothing to say except that it succeeds 
admirably under the cool treatment given to most other members of the genus. 
The variety superbum, here figured, is a superior form, which has flowered 
each spring, since three years, in the houses of L’HorticuLTuRE INTERNATIONALE, 
at Brussels.
