P. GODEFROY LEUCOCHILUM (fig. 54) is a very pretty variety, which 
differs from the original P. Godefroye in having a white lip. Com” 
paratively little is known of its history, except that it appeared in 
cultivation about ten years ago. In 1893 we received a flower from the 
collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., The Woodlands, Streatham, and in 
the following year it was figured in these pages (O. R., il, p. 145), from a 
plant in the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury. This 
plant is said to have been purchased as an imported piece in August, 1892. 
Shortly afterwards it was described and figured from the collection of R. I. 
Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell (Gard. Chron., 1894, i, pp. 
717, 815, fig. 106), when it was remarked :—‘ The chief peculiarity of this 
variety is its clear, cream-white, unspotted lip, a peculiarity which runs

consistently through the whole importation.” Shortly afterwards it was 
figured in Lindenia (t. 431). It is very variable, as may be seen by the 
series of thirteen forms from the collection of R. I. Measures, Esq., figured 
at page 281, and the lip is not altogether exempt from this peculiarity, for 
a few minute purple dots are present in a few cases, besides a great amount 
of variation in the amount of spotting on the dorsal sepal and petals. 
Some of these forms approach very near to P. bellatulum, but their 
exact relationship to that species and to the original P. Godefroye is 
at present uncertain. We cannot ascertain the history of the original 
importation, and the facts pointed out above would suggest that it may be 
a local form. We should like to see the hybrid between P. concolor and
