illustration of P, Godefroyz leucochilum, and as P. niveum was figured 
Fic. 52. PAPHIOPEDILUM xX Mrs. H. Druce. 
at page 273 we have the materials for a very useful comparison of all the 
forms concerned.

Mr. Walker from P. niveum ¢ and P. bellatulum ¢, and flowered for the first 
time in 1897 (O. R., vi. p- 232). As will be seen from the figure, it is quite 
intermediate in character, and a comparison with that of P. Godefroye 
leucochilum, given on page 361, shows several marked differences. In the
