THE ORCHID REVIEW. 305 
PAPHIOPEDILUM x ROLFEI. 
ALLUSION was made at page 287 of our last issue to the flowering of this 
interesting hybrid in the collection of W. M. Appleton, Esq., of Weston- 
super-Mare, and of its appearance at the R. H. S. Meeting on August 27th, 
when it received an Award of Merit. A photograph of the flower was taken 
by Mr. H. J. Chapman, and kindly forwarded for reproduction in our pages. 
Mr. Chapman recalls the doubt expressed about the parentage of the 
plant exhibited a few years ago (to which allusion was also made last 
Fic. 46. PAPHIOPEDILUM X ROLFEI. 
month), and remarks that there is not the slightest doubt about the 
present example, as the characters are so intermediate, and that this 
is especially well marked in the foliage—a character which we are not 
able to show. As to the flower, the shape and markings may be left 
to speak for themselves, and the colour Mr. Chapman describes as creamy 
white throughout, with the markings on the sepals and petals deep brown, 
and the spotting of the lip rose-purple, with a suffusion of rose in front.
