OCTOBER, 1922.] THE ORCHID REVIEW, 308 
one of the earliest being C. Cymatodes, also known as C. beechense. It 
received its former, and therefore correct, name from Mr. R. H. Measures, 
in 1893. The pollen parent being the closely allied C. superbiens. The 
accompanying block shows a remarkable three-flowered scape that appeared 
some years ago in the collection of Mr. S. C. Lutwyche, of Beckenham. 
Twin-flowered scapes on plants, or hybrids from them, that normally 
produce but one flower are seldom seen, and three flowers on the same 
spike is a very rare event. The cause is undoubtedly excessive vigour om 
the part of the plant, probably brought about by good cultivation. 
CYPRIPEDIUM cymaTopEs (Curtisii x superbiens), 
Cypripedium Curtisii Sander was exhibited by Messrs. Sanders at the 
Royal Horticultural Society, June 8th, 1915, and received a First-class 
Certificate. It constitutes the albino form of the species, the absence of the 
Purple colour resulting in a greenish flower. The foliage is also devoid of 
Purple tints, and thus lead to the plant being picked out and put on one 
Side several years before it flowered. This albino nature Is perpetuated - 
its hybrids, proof of which can be seen in C. Emerald (Curtis Sandere X 
Maudiz),
