To Messrs. Armstrong & Brown for.a superb example of Odontoglossum 
percultum (ardentissimum xX Rolfez), bearing a branched spike of 59 
‘flowers, which were white, the only colour being a few small spots on the

OTHER EXHIBITs. 
Messrs. Stuart Low & Co., were awarded a Silver Banksian Medal for a 
‘pleasing exhibit containing the rare Odontoglossum Insleayi aureum, the 
‘pretty Dendrobium Dearei with white flowers, Dend. Victoria Regina, with 
‘flowers of a slate-blue colour, and Dend. Farmeri. Cypripediums were well 
‘seen in Maudiz and I’Ansonii, the latter a hybrid between Morganie and 
Rothschildianum. A fine plant of Epidendrum prismatocarpum, as well as 
‘Oncidium Kramerianum, stood out prominently, and the interesting 
Bulbophyllum Lobbii carried several finely-developed flowers. A special 
feature of this group was the varied selection of Cattleya Dupreana, while 
-distinct forms of C. Warscewiczii were well-flowered. 
Messrs. Sanders exhibited several interesting plants, among them being 
‘Dendrobium asperifolium, of dwarf habit, but bearing several flowers, 
Lycaste tetragona, with four flowers that much resembled the plant as 
‘regards colour, except the lip, which was rose-purple. The pretty Vanda 
Kimballiana and a richly coloured variety of Cattleya Dowiana were two 
‘popular species, while among the hybrids were Odontoglossum excellens 
-and a pure-white variety of Cattleya intertexta. Cypripedium Godefroye 
-ochraceum was a large flower of broad formation, but having the colour of 
-C. concolor. 
Dr. Miguel Lacroze, Bryndir, Roehampton, exhibited Brassocattleya 
Roehrsiana var. Santiago del Estero (Mendelii x Hardyana), a large flower 
-of mauve-pink colour, the expansive labellum purple and having a yellow 
‘isthmus.

Madeleine X Odm. Alexandrina), a new cross bearing two flowers of fleshy 
nature, the sepals unusually broad, and with the petals heavily marked 
-with reddish colour.
