that we know of, as he keeps all the additions posted up as they appear in 
a thoroughly systematic way. The importance of such records can hardly 
be over-estimated, and we had great pleasure in looking through them.” 
The work, both of seedling raising and of posting up the records, has been 
continued, and now form a remarkable series. The collection, we believe, 
is to be dispersed, but we cannot help hoping that the unique collection of 
records will be preserved intact, as a memento of Mr. Young’s activity and 
enthusiasm. A copy was given to the Royal Horticultural Society some 
few years ago. 
Our pages contain many records of Mr. Young’s work, as well as some 
very interesting papers from his pen, and his friend, Mr. F. H. Moore, of 
the Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, to whom we are indebted for part of the 
above information, writes:—‘‘ The pages of the Orchid Review were a 
favourite medium for giving others the benefit of his experience, and Mr. 
Goossen’s Dictionnaire was enriched with many drawings and flowers from 
his collection.” 
A summary of Mr. Young’s work would be very interesting, but we 
cannot attempt it now, though we may mention his papers on Cypripedium 
Hybridisation (O.R. iii. pp. 201-202), An Ideal Cypripedium List (J.c. p. 
330), and Complex Cypripedium Hybrids (iv. pp. 361-362), as instances of 
the thoroughness of his work. And the history of his successful attempt 
to prove the parentage of the natural hybrid Paphiopedilum X siamense, 
as given at pp. 44-46 of our eleventh volume, will be historical. Mr. 
Young’s name is commemorated by the handsome hybrid Paphiopedilum xX 
Youngianum, raised by Messrs. Sander from P. superbiens and P. 
philippinense. Mr. Young’s death is a great loss to Orchidology, and many 
will regret that he was not spared to see more of the results of his long 
series of interesting experiments. We hope that whatever may be the fate 
of the collection, the origin of the numerous unflowered seedlings will not 
be lost sight of, as some good things are likely to be found among them.

PAPHIOPEDILUM x MAUDIZ. 
A FLOWER of a fine hybrid between Paphiopedilum Lawrenceanum ? and 
P. callosum ¢ has been sent from the collection of J. Leemann, Esq., 
Heaton Mersey, near Manchester, which carries the curious question raised 
at page 125 a step further. It may be briefly described as a fine coloured 
P. X Maudiz, using that name in its original significance, as an albino 
hybrid from two albino parents. The flowers of the two species, as is well 
known, differ chiefly in shape, P. Lawrenceanum having nearly straight 
horizontal petals, while in P. callosum they are half drooping and falcate. 
The hybrid clearly combines the characters of the two parents, but most
