E have on former occasions remarked that there are many primary 
hybrids worthy of cultivation, and although in Cypripedium hybrids 
of this description the flowers may not be quite so large as those of more 
recent production, there are certain points in them that appeal to the 
students of specific characters. Cypripedium Juno is an excellent example 
of a primary hybrid, being the result of crossing the two species callosum 
CYPRIPEDIUM JUNO. 
and Fairrieanum. It was raised by Mr. D. O. Drewett, and although only 
three seedlings from this particular pod survived, one flowered in the short 
period of two years and eleven months from the time of fertilisation. The 
influence of C. Fairrrieanum is strongly seen in the prettily formed drooping 
petals, while C. callosum is responsible for the well-developed dorsal sepal, 
which has a delicate rose-purple suffusion and vertical lines of dark crimson 
purple.
