PAPHIOPEDILUM MAY. 
THIs is a very distinct hybrid from Paphiopedilum Euryades maculatum ¢ 
and P. glaucophyllum 3, whose history was given at page 45, and now, 
through the kindness of the Fournal of Horticulture, we are able to give its 
portrait, which is reproduced from a photograph by Mr. J. Gregory, 
Croydon. It forms a striking contrast with P. Sladdenii, another glauco- 
phyllum hybrid, which is figured at page 41, and in the present case the 
shape and twisted petals of the glaucophyllum parent have been very well 
retained. On the whole the characters of this parent are the most obvious, 
though the shape and colour have been considerably modified. The dorsal

sepal is flat, and white towards the apex. suffused with rose, and slightly 
veined, as in P. glaucophyllum; the petals twisted with several brownish 
pin-like dots on a yellow ground, and the pouch is light rose. Only a 
single seedling was raised by Messrs. Veitch, which is now in the Kew 
collection, and which promises to develop into a fine thing when the plant 
becomes strong. This makes the third hybrid from P. glaucophyllum that 
has flowered, the first being the one described at pp. 250, 264, of our last 
volume, whose origin is somewhat doubtful, though P. Curtisii is supposed 
to have been the second parent.
