FEBRUARY, 1603.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 59 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X Uwna.—A charming little hybrid, derived from 
P. villosum X Godefroye leucochilum, in the collection of W. M. 
Appleton, Esq., of Weston-super-Mare. The flower has much of the 
general shape of the latter, and the ground colour is cream-white, with a 
very pretty purple reticulation on the dorsal sepal, and very numerous 
minute purple dots on the lip and outer halves of the petals. The villosum 
character is perhaps most obvious in the more hairy ovary. P. villosum 
was also crossed with P. niveum, and Mr. Appleton remarks that there is 
just a doubt as to which batch of seedlings this came from, but it bears 
most resemblance to the one first-named. It promises to develop into a 
very beautiful thing. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X DapHNE.—Another very pretty hybrid raised by 
Mr. Appleton, from P. x Charlesworthii x exul. The flower most 
resembles the latter in the details of the lip and petals, but the 
influence of P. Charlesworthii is seen in the dorsal sepal and staminode. 
It is a promising little hybrid, much liked by Mr. Appleton, and we shall 
hope to see it again. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X MEROpE.—A third hybrid is sent by Mr. Appleton, 
which was derived from P. Chamberlainianum x hirsutissimum. It has 
retained much of the general habit of the former, but the flower is 
enlarged, and the petals considerably elongated, and showirg much of 
the characteristic markings of P. hirsutissimum. The lip and dorsal 
sepal also show the same influence in their more elongated shape. The 
latter organ is largely suffused with dusky brown. It is a distinct and 
attractive hybrid and should be taken care of. 
“ SLUGS, SNAILS, AND WOODLICE,” 
“An ANXIOUS AMATEUR” is evidently much troubled with these marauders, 
and at page 5 waxes eloquent in their denunciation. Mangold wurzel 
“traps”? can be used with great effect against Woodlice. A Mangold 
Wurzel should be cut in half, the centre scooped out somewhat, and the 
pieces laid about in likely places in the house. If examined carefully every 
morning the ranks of the marauders may soon be thinned. Beetroots, 
carrots, and potatoes are also very good substitutes; and also 
prove attractive to slugs and snails. Fumigating is not likely 
to be effective in the case of pests which can easily hide away 
beyond reach of the fumes. Bran and lettuce leaves will both serve 
to attract slugs, and if regularly examined these pests should be kept 
well in check. They have a way of wandering in from outside, so that
