PAPHIOPEDILUM x TAUTZIANUM VAR. YOUNGII. 
Ir is interesting to record that the very rare hybrid Paphiopedilum X 
Tautzianum has again been raised, a plant having been exhibited at the 
R. H. S. meeting at Chiswick, on July 16th, from the collection of Reginald 
Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool, under the above name. It is a case of 
patience and perseverance rewarded, as Mr. Young has been making experi- 
ments for years, as may be seen by several interesting notices which have 
appeared in these pages (vol. iii., p. 201; iv., p. 309; v-, p- 364, and vi., 
p- 362), the last containing a very complete summary of the work attempted. 
Fic. 33. PAPHIOPEDILUM X TAUTZIANUM VAR. YOUNGII. 
The history of this particular seedling is :—Cross made May, 1896; seed 
sown December following; seedlings discovered, November, 1897; plant 
flowered, June, 1901. Mr. Young, in kindly sending the photograph, writes : 
—*‘ Curiously enough the seedling now in flower is one of the third batch, 
and twelve months younger than the second, of which no seedling has yet 
pushed up a spike. Evidence of the influence of the pollen parent, P. niveum, 
is apparent in all three batches, noticeably in the black dust-like markings
