some resemblance to D. x Schneiderianum (p. 133). D. Findlayanumis 
said to have been one parent, but the other is not recorded. :

and D. Linawianum. It is compared with D. nobile, with the additiod 
some yellow on the disc on the lip. 
Dendrobium x Luna has white flowers with pale pink tips to the see

The remaining hybrids of the year were all Cypripediums, and may noe 
be considered. The first three were the work of operators not previously 
mentioned. 
Cypripedium x Aylingi was raised by Mr. Ayling in the collection of 4 
J. Hollington, Esq., Forty Hill, Enfield, from C. niveum and C. ciliolareé, 
and flowered for the first time when about six years old. Itisa very beat 
tiful little hybrid, most resembling the seed parent. 
C. x Vipani was raised in the collection of Captain Vipan, Stibbingtot 
Hall, Wansford, from C. philippinense 2 and C. niveum 2. It isa charming 
little plant, in which the characters of the pollen parent decidedly prepa 
derate. 
C. x Arnoldianum is a very interesting plant. It is said to hae 
flowered in the quickest time on record for a Cypripedium, namely, ir 
than two years, and to have been the first distinct hybrid of Americal 
origin. It was raised by Mr. Joseph Manda, jun., of Short Hills, New 
Jersey, from C. superbiens and C. concolor, but it is not recorded which was 
the seed parent.

and is said to be fairly intermediate in character. ag 
C. x Alfred was obtained by crossing C. venustum with the pollen

bears a two-flowered scape of light-coloured flowers. a 
C. x Constance was obtained by crossing C. Stonei with the polles 
of C. Curtisii, and also bears a two-flowered scape of delicately-col d 
flowers.
