loochristiensis the spike was much branched. Od. crispum Mossie 
was in fine form, also Od. crispum roseum and Od. Rolfez. Along the 
back were many superb Cymbidiums, the pretty Odontoglossum Thompsonii 
and Od. Vulcan var. Tutankhamen, in which the sepals bore immense solid 
blotches of pyramidical form. Od. crispum xanthotes was in fine form and 
Od. Perle de Steppe carried a grand spike of eleven large flowers, white, 
prettily marked with rose-purple, and awarded the 1st Prize for the best

competitive section. The central area contained several examples of the 
Premier type of Odontoglossum crispum, two of them being of outstanding 
merit. Odontonia Olivia carried two large flowers of golden-yellow colour, 
the lip marked with brown, while Odontonia Dora and O. Ceres were much 
appreciated. Potinara Juliette had flowers of a pleasing wine-purple 
colour, and Laliocattleya Primrose bore three flowers of a soft primrose- 
buff tint. Several handsome blotched Odontoglossum hybrids were of 
grand formation, and Brassocattleyas included a fine variety of Apollo.

with crimson; Alexanderi var. Peerless, ivory-white; Alexanderi var.
