THE ORCHID REVIEW. 17 
PAPHIOPEDILUM x MAUDI/, 
THE accompanying figure represents the very interesting and beautiful 
Paphiopedilum x Maudiz, which was exhibited at the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s meeting on November 6th last by H. Worthington, Esq., Whalley 
Range, Manchester, and to which it is said that a First-class Certificate was 
awarded, but subsequently withdrawn, because the flower had been fer- 
tilized, and therefore could not be spared for a painting to be made in 
accordance with the Society’s Rules. The photograph, taken by Mr. 
Worthington, was exactly natural size, and measured 4} inches from the

apex of the dorsal sepal to the front of the lip, but our illustration 1s 
reduced to two-thirds. As already recorded, its parents are P. Lawrence- 
anum Hyeanum @ and P. callosum Sandere ¢, and its intermediate 
character is well shown in the photograph. We presume that it is out of 
the batch raised by Messrs. Charlesworth and Co., one of which received a 
First-class Certificate at Manchester in September last. It is a most 
beautiful plant, and it is interesting to note that it is as true an albino as 
both its parents. It is now clear that albinism is a character which can be 
produced true from seed, and we may except to see the knowledge applied 
to practical purposes by our hybridists.
