124 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1923+ 
considerable appreciation. The central area was filled with choice Cym- 
bidiums, making a pyramid of pleasing colour, the varieties including 
Alexanderi, Martin, Vesta and Castor. At the back were tall spikes of the 
brightly coloured Odontocidium Edwardatum, various Odontiodas, and 
specimen plants of Oncidium McBeanianum, the long trailing spikes of 
which carried many flowers of yellow and brown coloration. The Leelio- 
cattleyas included Arcturus, with flowers of cinnabar-red, Eunice, always 
attractive by reason of its large white flowers borne on tall spikes, and 
Jessamine, of bright orange-yellowcolour. Touches of scarlet were seen in 
Odontioda Rufus and Colinge, while a pretty flower existed in Sle. 
Flammea. Some remarkably fine Odontoglossums were in prominent 
position, they included Melpomene, Fabia, and Gorizia, the latter a large 
flower of pretty formation and almost entirely rose-coloured. Odm. 
Radiant, heavily blotched, and Odm. Adula, with handsome blotching on a 
deep rose ground, were also much noticed, as also was the charming Odm. 
Rossi roseum and Odm. crispum Alabastor, a name well describing its 
characters. Near one end was a fine specimen of Cymbidium Alexanderi 
album, with large ivory-white flowers, and at other places were several very 
fine varieties of Lycaste Skinneri. Amongst the attractive Cattleyas were 
Octave Doin, Cowaniz alba, Enidalba, and Triane. 
H. T. Pitt, Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill (gr. Mr. Thurgood), was 
awarded a Silver Flora Medal for a comprehensive exhibit of Orchids, 
exceedingly meritorious when the period of the year and the locality in 
which the plants have been grown are taken into consideration. One of the 
principal attractions was Odontioda Cardinal, with large flowers of bright 
cardinal red colour. Others were seen in the elegant Miltonia Bleuana var. 
Queen Elizabeth and some beautiful varieties of Odontoglossum crispum.- 
An interesting plant was Od. Duvivierianum, a natural hybrid between 
maculatum and nebulosum, and also Dendrobium Wardianum album, 
which continues to flourish in this collection. Selenipedium cardinale and 
Odma. mirandum represented Orchids of former days. Lycaste Skinner 
alba, L. Balliz, and L. cruenta were all well-flowered, and in the front row 
were Dendrochilum glumaceum, and Odm. crispum Oakwood Ruby. 
Odm. Lambeauianum var. Stapelia was well named, the flowers being 
profusely dotted with brownish rose colour. 
Messrs. Cowan & Co. were awarded a Silver Flora Medal for an 
attractive exhibit, containing many superb varieties of Cattleya Tityus, also 
C. Douai, with pure-white flowers, and Brassocattleyas Apollo, a large 
flower of soft rose colour. Among the Leliocattleyas were varied examples 
of Dodona and Osric, the latter having three flowers of orange yellow 
colour, the lip margined with rose. Odontiodas included Princess Bibesco, 
scarlet-red, Sensation, Royal Gem, Diana and Satyr. Miltonia vexillaria
