JULY, 1923.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 213 
elegant D. Golden Sunray, which secured a First-class Certificate, the 
handsome D. acuminatum with a spike of eighteen rose-carmine flowers, 
D. Brymerianum, golden-yellow with a delicately fringed labellum, D. 
Victoria Regine, of slate-blue colour, and D. arachnites bearing numerous 
blooms of reddish tint. Among the Leeliocattleyas were the Gatton Park 
variety of Lc. G. S. Ball, always pleasing, and the beautiful Lc. Golden 
Glory, with bright golden-yellow segments. Cypripediums were in fine 
order and comprised Rothschildianum, a well-flowered example of Cham- 
berlainianum and selected hybrids. Miltonias with blotched lips, and 
M. vexillaria Snowflake were effectively staged, while the Cattleyas included 
Harold, with white sepals and petals and a rose-tinted lip, as well as 
the Quorndon House variety of Mendelii. Several rare species were in 
excellent condition, they comprised Lycaste Locusta, with weird-looking 
flowers of dark green colour, Lissochilus purpuratus, a nice example of 
Nanodes Medusz, and a well-flowered plant of Bifrenaria species. In the 
front row was the beautiful Odontioda Merope vivicans, with a large flower 
of rich rose-purple colour, while in other prominent positions were arranged 
Odontoglossum Wilckeanum aureum, O. crispum solum, with a good spike 
of bloom, and O. crispum var Leonard Perfect, one of the best of the old 
blotched forms. Several specimens of Masdevallia, including the Gatton 
Park variety of Harryana, showed to advantage. 
Messrs. Cowan & Co., Southgate, were awarded a Silver Cup for an 
excellent group of choice hybrids and attractive species. Cymbidiums 
were in fine form, and embraced the rare C. Devonianum, with a many- 
flowered pendulous spike, as well as Ring Dove, cream-coloured with a 
spotted lip, Curlew, Wigeon, and Vesta. Cattleyas were a special feature, 
among them being excellent forms of Tityus, the beautiful Douai, with pure 
white flowers of large size, also Apollo alba and several grand varieties of 
their Brassolzliocattleya Jupiter. Cypripediums were well represented by 
Fletcherianum var. Antinea (Godefroye leucochilum X W. R. Lee) and 
Masdevallias by the pretty Bonplandii, with numerous flowers. A novelty 
was seen in Odontoglossum Adelaide (Rolfee x Lindenii), a rarity in 
O. hastilabium, of which there were two fine specimens, while O. crispum 
was well represented. Among the meritorious hybrids O. promerens 
xanthotes stood out well, as also did Jasper, and a large one named Nanon, 
the result of crossing Nathaniel with promerens. Od. Serapis var. Dusky 
Monarch received an Award of Merit, as also did Odontioda Murillo. 
Another fine hybrid was Odontoglossum Purple Crown, large, with much 
purple suffusion and blotching, while in Odontiodas Felicity and Amethyst 
there were several examples that varied from light scarlet to dark red. 
Maxillaria Sanderiana represented this genus in characteristic style, and 
there were many plants of the well-known Oncidiums and Odontoglossums.
