DIAMOND JUBILEE OF THE First L&LIOCATTLEYA.—Sixty years ago, 
September, 1863, the first Lzliocattleya was seen in Lc. exoniensis (L. 
crispa X C. Mossiz). 
Orcuips or Prrv.—Under the title, ‘Die Orchideenfloren der 
sudamerikanischen Kordillerenstaaten,’’ Dr. R. Schlechter has completed 
the section devoted to the Orchids of Peru. We hope to review the work 
at an early date. 
LInpDLEY MEDAL FoR Mr. FARNES.—The Royal Horticultural Society 
has awarded a Lindley Medal to Mr. S. Farnes, Orchid grower to Pantia 
Ralli, Esq., Ashtead Park, Surrey, in recognition of the excellent condition 
of the plants exhibited in Mr. Ralli’s superb group at Chelsea Show. 
TrapE GROWERS’ COLLECTIONS.—As most of the trade growers are 
continually exhibiting interesting species, as well as novelties in the hybrid 
section, it is believed that a series of short articles dealing with the 
principal features of their establishments will prove of interest to our 
readers. The present issue contains an account of Messrs. Flory & Black’s 
establishment at Slough. 
LYCASTE TRICOLOR.—At the meeting of the Manchester Orchid Society 
on July roth, Mrs. Bruce and Miss Wrigley exhibited Lycaste tricolor 
albens, when a Cultural Certificate was awarded to their gardener, 
Mr. A. Burns. This interesting Central American species was originally 
introduced from Guatemala by Warscewicz, in 1894. The flowers measure 
about 14 inches long, the sepals are light brownish-green, and the petals and 
lip white dotted with purple, the-spots being larger and darker on the lower 
half of the lip. The specific name refers to the three colours usually 
present in typical forms, and the variety albens presumably has flowers of 
lighter tints.
