72 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
previous one is nine inches long, and has now produced a fascicle of three 
flowers.. D. X Juno being a seedling from D. Linawianum and D. 
Wardianum, the novelty should be three-fourths derived from the latter, 
though the flower is nearer the other parent in general character. The 
sepals and petals are prettily suffused with rose-purple at the apex, passing 
to white at the base, and the lip has a large maroon blotch on the disc, 
with a trace of yellow at the margin, and finally a white border with 
a rosy purple apex. It has scarcely yet shown its true character. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X QUINIRIUS. 
A curious little hybrid raised in the collection of Reginald Young, Esq., 
Sefton Park, Liverpool, by Mr. Poyntz, from P. Spicerianum ¢ and P. 
Appletonianum g. The dorsal sepal is almost a reduced example of the — 
former, but more ovate in shape, and the petals are nearly flat and more like 
those of the latter. The staminode and lip are fairly intermediate. The 
seed was sown in March, 1892, and a single seedling appeared in January, 
1893, and three or four more in January, 1896—a curiously long interval. 
The former has now flowered. As the pollen plant is rare in cultivation, we 
may add that a figure was given at page 17 of our fourth volume. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X HELIOos. 
A hybrid derived from Paphiopedilum Curtisii and P. villosum—the 
latter being recorded as the pollen parent—which has just flowered in the 
collection of Reginald Young, Esq., of Sefton Park, Liverpool. It was 
obtained from Messrs. John Cowan and Co., of Gateacre, who themselves 
obtained it from some other source with the above record. It bears a 
considerable resemblance to P. x Harrisianum, especially in colour, but 
the dorsal sepal is rather smaller, more distinctly ovate, and the lip larger, 
just as would be expected when P. barbatum was replaced by P. Curtisii. 
The prevailing colour is a bright, shining brown, as in other hybrids between 
-P. villosum and a member of the barbatum group. Theshape is also good, 
and the plant seems to be a vigorous grower. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X MACULATUM.—Under this name is recorded a secondary 
hybrid raised in the establishment of Messrs. F. Sander and Co., from C. 
tonsum @ and C. xX Leeanum g (Orch. Rev., lil., p. 32). The same 
cross has since been raised in the collection of Reginald Young, Esq., 
Sefton Park, Liverpool, and we have now received a flower, together with 
that of the two parents. It is unmistakably intermediate in character, but 
cannot well agree with the original, for there is scarcely a spot about the 
flower. Nor, unless it improves greatly, can it be called an acquisition, 
being inferior to P. x Leeanum in every respect. The dorsal sepal is 
suffused aud obscurely veined with light brown, except round the pale 
margin, and the petals and lip are suffused with a similar colour. Other. 
seedlings of the same batch may not prove identical.
