PAPHIOPEDILUM SLADDENII. 
THE annexed figure represents a very beautiful hybrid raised by Messrs. 
Sander & Sons, St. Albans, from Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum and 
P. bellatulum—the former, we believe, being the seed parent—and is 
reproduced from a photograph taken by Mr. Gregory, of Croydon, and 
kindly forwarded by Messrs. Sander. It has retained much of the 
P. bellatulum habit, and broad rounded segments, while the colour is cream 
white, tinged with rose, and beautifully veined and dotted with purple on 
the dorsal sepal and petals. The influence of P. glaucophyllum, which is not

very obvious in the figure, can be readily traced in the living flower. It 
will probably be more apparent as the plant gets stronger and develops 
more of the racemose character. The quite diverse parents have combined 
well, yielding a very charming little hybrid, which is dedicated to Mr, 
Charles Sladden, of Liege, Belgium. It received an Award of Merit from 
the R.H.S., on January 17th last, under the name of Cypripedium Charles 
Sladden (‘‘ Sladdin’’).
