changing to purple, with
darker lines and spots. Slipper crimson.

_Tautzianum lepidum_ (niveum x barbatum Warneri).--A rosy flower, covered
throughout with lines and network of crimson. The lip darker.

_Georges Truffaut_ (ciliolare x Stonei).--Very large. The tall dorsal has
crimson edges and lines, greenish centre. The twisted petals--greenish,
with crimson lines, very large maroon spots and crimson-purple tips--hang
loosely. An enormous slipper, all crimson-brown.

_Mrs. E. G. Uihlein_ (villosum aureum x Leeanum giganteum).--The dorsal
rises to a point between shoulders perfectly square, white, with a heavy
slash of copper from base to crest; the centre greenish-coppery, with
lines and mottling of pale crimson. Petals green in the upper half,
clouded and lined with copper; paler below. Slipper similar.

_Venustum_ (Measures variety).--A remarkable sport. Small. The white
dorsal is striped with clear green lines, rising from a green cloud at the
base. The ochreous copper petals have a green base. Slipper the same,
covered with a pretty green network.

_Watsonianum_ (Harrisianum nigrum x concolor).--The white crested dorsal
shows a crimson line in the centre, green on either side, crimson towards
the edges. The petals, dark green at base, fade to a paler tint, and the
ends are crimson; all softly lined with crimson. Slipper maroon.

_Woodlandsense_ (Dayanum x Javanicum virens).--Among the rare Cypripeds in
this collection, I have noted several of which the dorsal sepal bore a
cap, elaborate as eccentric in shape. But this is most singular of all.
Between the point of the dorsal and the shoulder is a process which I can
only describe in architectural language as a volute reversed; an addition
so abnormal and inexplicable that I really find nothing to say about it.
In other respects the dorsal is striking--handsomely rounded, white with a
rosy margin, the vivid green at the base not fading softly but abrupt
almost as a splash; petals the same vivid green, with maroon spots and a
stain of copper at the ends. The rosy stamenode shows well upon this
ground. Slipper pale green, with a pleasing network of copper.

_Zeus_ (tonsum x Boxallii).--The white globular dorsal rises from a very
slender green waist, with a broad dark-crimson line up the centre. Petals
dark coppery in the upper half, pale below. Slipper dusky.

_Annie Measures_ (bellatulum x Dayanum).--Dorsal yellowish, outlined
white, covered with slender purpl
