In the eastern portion we find C. arie'tinum, C. acaule, C. pubescens, C. parviflorum, C. candidum, and the beauti- ful C. spectabile; while the far west is the home of the C. guttatum, C. occi- dentale, C. montauuni, the rare C. passer- imum, and the only recently discovered C. fasciculatum. lu Mexico we find the C. Irapeanum, and here ends the line of true cypripeds, they being replaced by the selenipediums and Urepedium. It is between Mexico and the Argentine Re- public that we find the C. caudatum, C. Wallisii, C. vittatum, C. caricinum, C. Roezlii, C. lougifolium, C. gracile, C. Schlimii, C. Lindleyauum, C. Schoin- burgkianuni, C. Hartwegii, C. palmifo- lium, C. Chica, C. reticulatum, C. Hink- sianum, C. Boisserinum, Klotchianum and Uropediuni Lindenii. In Europe is found the C. calceolus and C. macranthum, the latter occurring also through Siberia and Japan, where grows also C. Japonicum and the very little- known C. cardiaphyllum. The C. purpuratum grows in China, while the C. callosum and C. Godefroyte were only recently discovered in Siam. The Malay Peninsula is very rich in Cy- pripeds; from there we have the C. barb- atum in vars. C. ciliolare, C. niveum, C. concolor, C. Mastersianum and the new and rare C. Sanderianum. In the neigh- boring Burmah is found C. Boxallii, C. Parishii aud C. villosum. In Assam, Bhootan and Nepaul are at home the popular and well-known C. venustum, C. insigne with its nimierous varieties, C. hirsutissimum, C. Spicerianum, and the rare C. Fairieanum, C. cordigerum may also be found there. The C. Druryi grows away in Mysore. Many of the islands are ver
