July 22, The Rev, Joshua Dix in the Chair. 



The plants and flowers produced on the occasion were as 

 follows : 



Disa grandiflora , r'^r. superba: — from C. Lkach, Esq., 



King's Road, Clapham Park. This was a remarkably fine 

 form of Disa^ tlie colour of the flowers, "which were larger and 

 better proportioned than usual in the parts, being richer, and 

 more decidedly contrasted than in the ordinary forms. The dor- 

 sal sepal was deeply stained ^Yith purple rose, and marked \Yith 

 very distinct crimson-purple forking lines, which ran out into 

 dots towards the edge ; the lateral sepals were of a light crim- 

 son, and the yellow petaloid development of the column distinctly 

 spotted. To this, of which a vigorous potful with four flowering 

 stems, some of the stems with 4 — 5 flowers, was exhibited, 

 a First-Cjlass Cerhficate was given. It was accompanied by 

 another potful equally well-grown and well-flowered, but in 

 which the. colours were paler, the dorsal sepal being more blush 

 than rose-colour, and the lateral ones orange red. 



Eemerocallis sp.: — from Messrs. Veitch & Son, Exeter and 



Chelsea, A Japanese herbaceous plant, with distichous ribbon- 

 like arching leaves, boldly striped with white. It was awarded a 

 First-Class Certificate. 



Picotee Lady Elcho: — from Mr. Turner, Slough. A fine 

 variety of the light purple class, remarkable for the breadth and 

 purity of its smooth-edged and evenly bordered petals, forming a 

 well-marked and characteristic variety. It obtained a First- 

 CiiAss Certificatb.
