HE discovery of the long-lost Cypripedium Fairrieanum is mentioned 
on another page, and the annexed figure represents one of the plants, 
which flowered in the collection of M. Joseph Ginot, at St. Etienne, 
France. It was grown in a low, cool house, in a substantial and well- 
drained compost, and the conditions evidently proved suitable, for in the 
preceding year it produced four flowers. It is a form with rather short, 
broad leaves, and short scapes. We may also recall the fine group of plants 
grown in the collection of the late Mr. O. O. Wrigley, Bridge Hall, Bury,

having been grown under the same conditions as C. insigne, and with the 
utmost success. The group contains 33 plants, bearing an aggregate of 84 
Howes, and shows well the amount of variation to which the species 
subject. Mr. E. H. Woodall has also recorded that the species grows, 40 
thrives, in his garden at Nice, in the open air, at the foot of an olive tree 
in company with C. insigne (O.R., xxli. p. 36), under which conditions it 
gets more heat in summer and more cold in winter than in any ordinaty 
Orchid house. It is a very charming little plant.
