THE ORCHID REVIEW. 81 
SELENIPEDIUM x CARDINALE. 
THE beautiful hybrid here figured was raised by Mr. Seden in the 
establishment of Messrs. Veitch, of Chelsea, and flowered for the first time 
in 1882. 
It was obtained by crossing S.xSedeni with the pollen of S. Schlimii 
albiflorum, and as the mother plant was derived from S. longifolium and S. 
wl 
Schlimii, the present hybrid represents one move back to the last-namec 
species. Its parentage may be thus represented :—S. Schlimii 4, S. longi- 
folium x 
5. SELENIPEDIUM X CARDINALE. 
It is one of the most attractive hybrids in the genus, as the white sepals 
and petals contrast effectively with the bright carmine-rose lip, and set it 
off to the greatest advantage. In some forms the dorsal sepal and pet als 
are lightly flushed with pale rose. ‘The photograph here reproduced is from
