May, 1923.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 157 
Cattleya Dr. M. Lacroze var. Excelsior (Octave Doin x Tityus), from 
Messrs. Flory & Black, Slough. The two large flowers borne by this plant 
were of large size and of excellent formation. The broad petals were very 
prettily crisped along their margin, and well balanced by the massive 
labellum. The colour was bright rose-pink, with a rich purplish labellum 
and yellow area in the throat. It forms an excellent addition to the series 
of Tityus hybrids, as well as perpetuating the good qualities of Octave 
Doin. 
AWARDS OF MERIT. 
Leliocattleya Faust, Broadlands var. (Lc. Ernestii x Lc. luminosa) 
from E. R. Ashton, Esq., Broadlands, Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. Kent). 
The spikes of this attractive hybrid carried four flowers of medium size, of 
rich cinnabar-red colour, the labellum intense ruby-crimson. 
Odontoglossum Aureola, from Pantia Ralli, Esq. A fine addition to 
the yellow section, the spike carried nine large flowers of golden yellow 
colour, with an occasional red-brown spot. Although the parentage is not 
known, there is evidence in the flower of crispum and triumphans, the 
latter producing the yellow colour. 
Odontoglossum Aglaon majesticum (eximium X Vuylstekee), from 
H. T. Pitt, Fsq., Stamford Hill (gr. Mr. Thurgood). This handsome hybrid 
produced an erect spike of seven large flowers, rose-tinted, and having 
prominently displayed markings of reddish-purple colour on all the seg- 
ments.
