ACTAEUS ([insigne x Leeanum re ie A OMA NeN ORTH AT ud ()'2) “Somme 
This fine medium sized Cypripedium depends for emphasis on its Indian red pouch 
with wax yellow trim. The subdued petals and dorsal combine neutralized tints of 
russet and apple green and there is a snow-white dorsal trim that fairly glistens. 
ACTAEUS, var. LANGLEYENSIS, F.C.C.-R.H.S. (insigne Sanderae x Leeanum) ' : $10.00 
This well-known variety has an upright white dorsal colored but slightly near the 
base in citron green and graced by a sprinkle of pin-point dots. The petals and 
pouch repeat the green coloring and add a touch of pale sorghum brown. 
A. DE LAIRESSE (Curtisii x Rothschildianum) . : ; , : : é ‘ . $10.00 
The dorsal is small in comparison with the size of the pouch. It is white, marked 
with narrow vertical Indian red stripes on a white background. The very dark, thin, 
slightly curled petals are covered with tiny Indian red dots on white with a hint of 
light Chalcedony yellow near the center. Short, dark hairs outline the petals. The 
pouch is Indian red, long and almost rectangular in shape.
