C. SCHRODERAE, Rchh. f. — ^A very distinct and beautiful hybrid between 

 C. caudatum and 0. Sedeni, raised by Mr. Seden, and named by Messrs. Veitcli 

 in compliment to the Baroness Schroder. A fine specimen of it was exhibited 

 by Mr. Ballantine, gardener to Baron Schroder, The Dell, Staines, in December, 

 1883. It is a really grand plant, with leaves as in G. Sedeni, and ii branching 

 stem with several large and high-coloured flowers. The dorsal sepal is pale 

 reddish-green lined with greenish-purple ; the petals,jvhich are 4 inches long, 

 very broad, and turned downwards, are whitiah-greeh in the centre, and 

 stained with purple-crimson ; and the lip is large, similar in shape to that of 

 G. caudatum, of a dull crimson. The plant blooms in December. — Garden 

 hybrid.

 Fig. — Lindenia, ii, t. 69. 



C. SEDENI, Rchh. f. — A very handsome hybrid raised between G. SMimii 

 and G. longifolium. The leaves are strap-shaped, tapering to a point, deep 

 green, and about a foot in length ; the flower stem, which is taller than the 

 leaves, bears several blossoms, which are large and showy, the sepals being 

 ovate, greenish-white, the petals longer, twisted, white edged with crimson- 

 purple, and the lip rich crimson, spotted inside with crimson on a white 

 ground. This Lady's Slipper may be said to be a continuous bloomer, as it 

 throws up a succession of flowers from the same spike. We have found it do 

 best in the Gattleya house. It belongs to the Selenipedium group.

 petals are white, with a faint rosy hue on the edges, and the lip is of a pale dull 

 rose colour, it flowers nearly all the year round if the old spikes are left on the 

 plant. The petals are narrower than is generally the case in G. Schlimii. — •
