ful Ladio-cattleya X Cappei var. Afterglow is also sent, from a spike 

 bearing thirteen fiovvers, which must have presented a fine sight, the full 

 expanse of the one sent being over six inches. 



A flower of Paphiopedilum X Chamber-Leeanurn is sent from the 

 collection of Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool. It is most 

 like the Chamberlainianum parent, but is considerably modified in shape, 

 though it shows no white on the dorsal sepal, a character present in both 



It may be interesting to note that Mr. Young flowered a plant of 

 Paphiopedilum X Maudia: in November last, and in December he cut the 

 flower, and placed it in a tube of water in the same house, after which it 

 remained in perfection for over a month. It would appear that it is a 

 good thing for cutting, like many of its allies. 



A particularly large and handsome flower of Paphiopedilum X Aphrodite 

 is sent from the collection of F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough. 

 It is cut from a twin-flowered scape, and the plant is said to be very strong, 

 and most resembles P. Lawrenceanum. 



A very beautiful dried scape with three flowers of Ladio-cattleya X 

 Bowri-albida is sent by Mr. E. (). Orpet, So. Lancaster, Mass., U.S.A. 

 The scape somewhat recalls Ladia albida, except that the flowers are larger, 

 and of a 1 en pleasing light rose shade. It is a very beautiful hybrid. 



PAPHIOPEDILUMS FROM BURY. 



As evidence of the value of the genus Paphiopedilum as winter-blooming 

 plants, a fine series of flowers is sent from the collection of O. O. 

 Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers. The majority are 

 hybrids, the species being represented by two good forms of P. insigne, one 

 of them having a large amount of spotting on the petals, while the blotches 

 of the dorsal sepal are very large. There are three good forms of P. X 



lower part of the dorsal sepal. One called P.^X ThompsonLnum has all 



latter well suffused with purple at the base. P. X nitens Arle Court var. 

 is a very good form of this hybrid, while P. X Sallied aureum, and P. X 

 Mons. de Curte are too well-known to require description. The latter is 

 splendidly developed. A form of P. X Hera, called Euryades Low's 



blotched, and the petals broad and richly coloured. P. X Leeanum X 

 Spicerianum shows a considerable return to the latter species, and has lost 

 all trace of spotting in the dorsal sepal, while P. X Leeano-Calyso is
