48 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
os PAPHIOPEDILUM X CALLOSO-BARBATUM. 
This is a hybrid raised in the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge 
Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers, from P. callosum ? and P. barbatum Warneri 
g. The two are so nearly allied that a hybrid between them cannot be 
very distinct, but it is good, and will probably prove to be very vigorous and 
floriferous. It may be described as a somewhat enlarged well coloured 
barbatum with the petals somewhat falcate. Being the first time of flower- 
ing it has probably not yet attained its full development. Messrs. 
Charlesworth & Co. exhibited a plant under this name last November. 
PAPH UM X ZENO. 
Raised in the same collection as the preceding from P.tonsum ¢ and P. 
Boxallii ¢, whose characters it combines. The dorsal sepal is .reflexed, 
nerved with blackish purple, and slightly spotted at the sides. The petals 
are quite devoid of cilia, and bear a number of small blackish spots on the 
lower half. The characters of the two species, however, have neutralised 
each other too much to be very effective. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X Jaco. 
A hybrid between P. Dayanum 2? and P. villosum ¢, raised in the same — ; 
collection as the preceding. It is a large and bold flower but rather pale m 
colour, being about intermediate between the parents in this respect. The — 
dorsal sepal is closely nerved and almost suffused with dark purple brown 
below, and reticulated with the same colour above, while the petals are 
suffused with pale purple and bear rather long ciliz, and the lip still lighter 
in colour. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X BARBATO-CHARLESWORTHII. 
In the autumn of 1893, Paphiopedilum Charlesworthii flowered for the — 
first time in Europe, and now a hybrid from it has flowered, and has been 
described under the name of Cypripedium xX barbato -Charlesworthii — 
(O’Brien, in Gard. Chron., Jan. 7, p. 3). It is one of a small batch raised 
in the collection of W. H. Lumsden, Esq., Balmedie, Aberdeen, N.B., 2 
from P.barbatum Warnerianum ¢ and P. Charlesworthii ¢,and presents — 
the usual intermediate characters, though it is most like the pollen parent — 
in the flower. The leaves are said to be variegated, as in the seed parent, 
though like the pollen parent in other respects. The dorsal sepal is 
slightly concave, bright rosy purple on the lower half, with indistinct — 
green lines, the rest being white, reticulated with rose purple, which grows : 
lighter towards the apex. The petals are more horizontal than in P- 
Charlesworthii, veined and tinged with dull rose ona light ground. The] 
lip is greenish white, with darker veining, and a brownish purple tinge in 
front; and the staminode pale lilac, with a greenish yellow keel in the 
centre. It is a brightly coloured and promising hybrid, :
