under the name of D. x Owenianum, but it seems preferable to regard it asa 
variety of D. x chlorostele, Rchb. f., raised in the collection of Sir Trevor 
Lawrence from the same parentage. Our novelty was dedicated to J. Dyson 
Owen, Esq., of Selwood, near Rotherham, Yorks. 
PHAIUS X AMABILIS. 
Much interest was aroused when Norman C. Cookson, Esq., exhibited at 
ameeting of the Royal Horticultural Society in March, 1890, a beautiful 
hybrid Phaius which he had raised from P. Wallichii 2 and P. tuberculo- 
sus f. It was evident from the plant exhibited that the last-named species 
would become a potent agent in hybridisation, especially if the difficulties 
attending its cultivation should be overcome. We have now to record the 
appearance of another equally distinct and_beautiful hybrid obtained by Mr. 
Seden in Messrs. James Veitch and Sons’ nursery, from P. grandifolius 2 
and P, tuberculosus 2, which received the award of a First-class Certificate 
at the meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on February 14th. 
The following is a description of the plant. Rhizome very short. Pseudo- 
bulbs and leaves intermediate. Scape about a foot high, and five-flowered in 
the plant exhibited. Flowers about three inches across from the tip of the 
dorsal sepal to the apex of the lip. Sepals and petals white tinted with 
light-rose, milk-white behind ; the sepals lanceolate-oblong, apiculate ; the 
petals a little shorter and broader, obovate-oblong, acute; lip suborbicular 
when spread out, much crisped at the margin, convolute over the column at 
the base, reddish-crimson striated with white, and with three pubescent 
yellowish keels on the disc, the basal area on the under side greenish-yellow. 
‘ CYPRIPEDIUM X EUCHARIS. 
A pretty hybrid raised in the collection of M. Charles Vuylsteke, of 
Loochristy, Ghent, from C. insigne Chantini 2 and C. Lawrenceanum- 
t would appear to be somewhat analogous to C. X Ashburtoniz.—F.

CYPRIPEDIUM X PARIS. 
: Cypripedium bellatulum was introduced as recently as 1888, and, as was 
inevitable, was at once brought into requisition by the hybridist. Three, at 
least, of its descendants have already flowered, C. x southgatense, C. X 
Lawrebel, and the present one. The photograph here reproduced was taken 
ftom a flower kindly sent by R. H. Measures, Esq., of The Woodlands, 
s treatham, the possessor of probably the finest collection of Cypripediums 
m existence. Mr. Measures states that he bought it among 4 batch of 
“eedlings, but never knew the actual raiser. It is the only plant known. 
“ bellatulum was the seed parent, and the pollen is said to have been
