consisting of Cattleya citrina, which is found on the branches 

 of Oak-trees in Mexico ; Cattleya Skinneri, Dendrobium 

 albo-sanguiueum, D. densifioruiu, Chysis bractescens, Onci- 

 dium phymatochilum, and a fine variety of Anguloa Ruckeri. 

 Instead of being yellow, with blood-red dots, like the original, 

 the inside of the last-named flower is one uniform rich 

 chocolate brown ; the terminal lobe of the lip is, moreover, 

 broader and concave, not flat. It is called A. Ruckeri 

 sanguinea. 



Banksian Medal : — 



To Messrs. Lane, of Great Berkhampstead, for four boxfuls of 

 beautiful Rose blooms, which were stated to have been 

 selected from no fewer than 500 plants. 



To Messrs. Henderson, of Pine Apple Place, for a collection of 

 Hyacinths ; but more especially for the following sorts, viz., 

 double : — Prince of Waterloo, L'Eclipse, Jaune Supreme, 

 Madame Marmont, Triumph Blandina, and Laurens Koster ; 

 single : — Queen of the Netherlands, Oroudates, Lord Grey, 

 Gumal, Baron Van Thuyll, and Mrs. Beeoher Stowe. 



Certificate of Merit : — 



To Messrs. Veitch, for a variety of Dendrobium macrophyllum 

 with a fine spike of flowers, nearly four times as large as 

 those of the ordinary state of the plant. 



To Messrs. Henderson, Pine Apple Place, for Cheiranthera 

 linearis, a New Holland Plant, spoken of many years ago, by 

 Mr. Allan Cunningham, as being a shrub of great beauty. 

 It has violet, or rather blue starry flowers of sufficient size 

 to be showy ; but unfortunately, owing to the want of bright 

 sunlight in the room, they did not open, and therefore its 

 beauty could not be seen. It was mentioned that wild 

 specimens, showed the plant to be much more robust than 

 that exhibited, which was small and somewhat attenuated. 



II.— MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS OF EXHIBITION. 



Messrs. Veitch sent a variety of Calanthe vestita, the red colour 

 in the eye of which was not so dark as in the best form of that 

 plant.
