FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATE. 
Odontioda Cordor (Oda. Coronation X Odm. Doris), from Messrs. 
Armstrong & Brown. A vigorous plant carrying a full spike of ten flowers, 
all the segments broad and well displayed, the reddish colour being a 
combination of the scarlet in the Cochlioda parent and the rose-purple 
derived from the Odontoglossum. 
AWARDS OF MERIT. 
Brassocattleya Ruby (C. labiata * Be. Mrs. J. Leemann), from Messrs. 
Stuart Low & Co. A very attractive hybrid, which carried a spike of three 
large flowers, the segments prettily crisped at the margin and the extensive 
labellum fringed. The colour is bright rose-purple throughout. 
Odontoglossum crispum Hero, from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. A 
fine variety in regard to the thick texture, and especially so in the wide 
segments of cream-white nature. The spike carried nine flowers, the sepals 
having a single blotch of colour, as in varieties of the Bonnyanum section. 
Odontioda Antinous (Oda. Coronation X Odm. exultans), from Messrs. 
Armstrong & Brown. The plant is as yet immature, but gave much promise 
of finer results. The spike of three flowers showed intense crimson colour, 
the labellum rose tinted. 
GROUPS. 
Messrs. Sanders were awarded a Silver Flora Medal for an extensive 
exhibit, containing, along the back, some ‘fine Cymbidiums, of which C. 
Tracyanum leopardinum, with a spike of twelve flowers, was very distinct. 
Cattleyas were represented by fine forms of Octave Doin, Monarch and the 
white Ashtoniz, as well as the beautiful C. Enid var. Gratrixie. An 
interesting plant was Otochilus fuscus, with an arching spike of seventeen 
sina flowers, also Cvelogyne intermedia (cristata * Massangeana), and C.. 
x sais albens, with a whitish labellum. There were many excellent 
Cypripediums, a distinct variety being seen in C. Maudie coloratum, with 
purple-brown colouring. The scarce Sarcochilus Hartmannii and the
