308 THE ORCHID REVIEY. 
With the first it yielded the well-known and charming C. x vexillarium, 
with the second, the equally beautiful C. x Juno, and now the third one has 
appeared in the magnificent collection of R. H. Measures, Esgq., of The 
Woodlands, Streatham. Naturally, they bear a family resemblance to each 
other, but the present one is the largest of the three. It might almost be 
described as a much enlarged edition of C. x vexillarium (whose portrait 
appears on page 297), with somewhat lighter colours, so great is the genenl 
resemblance between them. The dorsal sepal is two and a half inches 
broad by nearly two inches long, rather flat, light purple, with light green 
base and white margin, and closely veined with darker purple. The petals 
are quite pendulous, very slightly falcate, two and a half inches long, light 
purple, with paler disc and light green base, the darker nerves dotted with 
dark brown. The lip is purple-brown in front, paler behind, and the stam 
node nearly orbicular, with two incurved teeth in front, light olive-greea, 
with darker reticulation and pale margin. It was raised from C. Lawrence: 
anum crossed with the pollen of C. Fairieanum, and as Mr. Measures has 
expressed his preference for a name which indicates its parentage, the above 
name is proposed, the pollen parent being placed first, in accordance with the 
old rule, which seems to have recently been departed from. It isa most 
beautiful hybrid, and Mr. Measures expresses his opinion that it is best of 
the C. Fairieanum crosses. . 
CYPRIPEDIUM X EDITH WINN. 
This is a very pretty hybrid, raised from Cypripedium Stonei crossed 
with the pollen of C. purpuratum, in the collection of Charles Winn, Esq, 
The Uplands, Selly Hill; Birmingham. It can best be compared with C. x 
euryandrum (C. barbatum @ x C. Stonei 2), though it differs in many 
respects, as the following description will show. The scape at present ® 
two-flowered. The dorsal sepal is much like that of C. Stonei in shap% 
light whitish yellow, with about eleven light purple stripes, which do m0! 
quite extend to either base or apex. The petals are nearly straight, os 
inches long by half an inch broad, blotched with purple-brown on a light 
ground, the nerves being light purple. The lip is much like a reduced 0 
of C. Stonei, one anda half inches long, suffused with bright purple-brow® 4 
front, paler behind ; and the staminode obovate-quadrate, conve% 
the sides, and the colour whitish yellow, slightly suffused with put em a 
centre. Thus it will be seen that the characters of the seed parent de® ' 
preponderate in the hybrid, the influence of C. purpuratum being a 
seen in the modification of various parts of the flower. oe
