﻿THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



Paphiopedilum X Queen of Italy. 

 The annexed illustration represents a very beautiful hybrid raised by 

 Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, from Paphiopedilum 

 insigne Sanderas and P. Goderroya; leucochilum. It was exhibited at 

 the R.H.S. meeting on November 24th last, under the name of Cypri- 

 pedium X Queen of Italy, and received an Award of Merit, as recorded 

 at page j66 of our last volume. It is fairly intermediate in character, 

 having a dwarfer scape than P. insigne Sandene, and broader petals, 



which, like the dorsal sepal, are light primrose yellow, spotted with 

 light brown, as shown in the illustration. The foliage also partakes of 

 the character of both parents. It is a charming variety, of good 

 constitution, and its delicate colouring gives it a very distinct appearance. 

 The light ground colour reflects the character of both parents, and the 

 increased amount of spotting is, of course, due to the influence of P. 

 Godefroyai leucochilum.
