Cypiupedium Atsmori, Morrcn. Many-leaved Japan Lady's Slipper {La Bclg. Sort., i., t. 21). — Nat. Ord. 
0rckidacea3 § G'ypripediea:. — Syn., C. Caleeolus, Tlmnbcrg; Atsmori so of the Japanese. — A leafy-stemmed hardy 
perennial, growing about a foot high, with 
acute lance-shaped plaited smooth leave, 
and about two flowers, of which the label- 
lum is yellow, slipper-shaped, or calceiform, 
and the sepals and petals rich purplish brown, 
the petals with purple hairs at the greenish- 
yellow base. It is allied to the true C. Cal- 
eeolus, according to M. Morren, from which 
it differs in having its leaves more lanceolate 
and glabrous, in the bracts being much more 
narrowly lanceolate and pointed, in the 
flowers being altogether narrower and more 
meagre, in the base of the petals being dis- 
tinctly hairy, in the remarkable narrowness 
of the sepals, in the less ventrieose pouch, 
cleft rather than toothed in front, in the 
lengthened trowel-like form of the sterile 
stamens, and in the longer filiform base of 
the lateral stamens. From Japan. Intro- 
duced by Dr. Von Siebold, in 1830, to Bel- 
gium. Flowers in summer. Probably culti- 
vated in the Botanic Gardens of Ghent and 
Leyden.
