THE ORCHID REVIEW. 309 
trace of purple has vanished from the flower. C. x Sallieri was the seed 
parent, the pollen being derived from the form just named. The ground 
colour of the flower is hght green; the dorsal sepal is veined with olive- 
green except at the white margin; the petals suffused with shining purple- 
brown except at the base, and the lip suffused with a similar tint in front. 
In its general shape, the flower most resembles C. x Sallieri, though some- 
what modified in the direction of the other parent. The staminode is 
semi orbicular, obscurely three-lobed in front. It was raised in the collec- 
tion of R. I. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Flodden Road, Camberwell. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X EYERMANIANUM VAR. DIANA. 
A very pretty hybrid was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society on September 12th last, under the name of Cypripedium x 
Diana, which was raised in the same collection as the preceding; the 
parents being C. barbatum superbum $ and C. Spicerianum f. It was from 
“these two species, however, that C. x Eyermanianum was raised, in the 
establishment of Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, and the present 
one is clearly a variety of the same. It chiefly differs-in having a broader 
white margin to the dorsal sepal, with less distinct stripes, lighter coloured 
petals, and a rather smaller lip, in which respects it shows more of the 
influence of C. Spicerianum, whose characters decidedly preponderate in it. 
The influence of the mother plant is seen in the shorter dorsal sepal, striped 
on the lower half, the flatter, more spreading petals, and the deep purple- 
brown lip. 
CYpPRIPEDIUM X ENFIELDENSE VAR. HEBE. 
This also was raised in the collection of R. I. Measures, Esq., of 
Camberwell (gr. Mr. H. Chapman), from C. Hooker Measuresianum $ and 
C. Lawrenceanum t. It was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society on September 12th last, under the name of C. x Hebe. 
That name, however, has been applied to a hybrid derived from C. Spicer- 
anum ? and C. x Stonei 2, the reverse cross of C. x Alice, while, on the other 
hand, C. x enfieldense was raised from C. Hookere ¢ and C. Lawrence- 
anum , and the present hybrid must be considered a variety om the Pane. 
It can best be compared with C. x marmorophyllum, in which the allied C. 
barbatum was the pollen parent. The dorsal sepal is closely veined with 
dark green on a lighter ground, and strongly suffused with light purple ecioeed 
the margin. The petals are green in their lower part, blotched with brown, 
the upper part and margin purple. The lip is purple-brown in front, paler 
behind, and the staminode suffused with purple, except in the centre, which 
is reticulated with green on a greyish ground. Itisa brightly-coloured and 
attractive hybrid. .
