Native of the Philippine Islands. 
Nat. Ord. Orcuide2E. — Tribe Cypripedie^:. 
Genus Cypripedium, Linn. (Encll. Gen. Plant, p. 220). 
Cypripedium Haynaldianum ; foliis disticliis lineari-oblongis carinatis obtusis 
apiee 2-dentatis coriaceis concoloribus, scapo plurifloro stricto patentim 
villoso, bracteis oblongo-laneeolatis ellipticisve acutis villosis ovario subsessili 
villoso brevioribus, sepalo dorsali oblongo obtuso marginibus ciliolatis infra 
medium recurvis, dimidio inferiore virescente brunneo maculatis, superiore 
pallide roseo-albo, sepalis lateralibus in unum late ovatum labello suppositum 
et eo brevius connatis, petalis ligulatis patentissimis sepalo superiore duplo 
longioribus eoque concoloribus ultra medium dilatatis apicibus recurvis, labello 
virescente saccato ore biauriculato auriculis latis obtusis sinu triangulari, 
staminodio spatliulato apice 2-lobo.

N.S. vol. vii. p. 272 (1877). 
A very near ally of C. Loioei , Lindl., also a native of the 
Philippines ; so near indeed that Beichenbach observes that a 
casual observer might confuse the two, but after a careful 
examination of thirty-five flowers of that plant and five of 
this, he regards them as distinct, summing up the differences 
in C. Lowei as follows : — Upper sepal yellowish-green, with 
purplish lines and dots on the inner base ; lower sepal (com- 
bined sepals) narrower and longer, yellow-green ; lip with 
less prominent auricles, and a toothed keel in the sinus ; 
stigma round and bent. These distinctive characters are, it 
must be confessed, but slight, and would seem to indicate a 
difference of race rather than of what are usually held to 
constitute a species. It is named after his Excellency Dr. 
Ludwig Haynald, archbishop of Kaloesa, in Hungary, who 
Dr. Beichenbach justly commemorates as a zealous botanist, 
and an active promoter of science and art, and whose name 
will ever be most honourably connected with the development 
of Hungary. 
I am indebted to Messrs. Yeitch for the opportunity of 
figuring this plant, which flowered at Chelsea in February 
of the present year.
