242 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [AuGusT, 1914 
character, but shows some of the glaucous tint of the Miltonia, and the 
scape is erect and at present four-flowered. The flowers are well expanded, 
and the broad lip and short column recall the Miltonia parent, but they are 
of thicker substance; generally they may be described as intermediate. 
Their shape and markings are well shown in the figure. The colour of the 
sepals and petals may be described as red-purple, with a little of the 
greenish white ground colour of the Odontoglossum parent remaining. 
The limb of the ample lip is brilliant rose-purple, with a zone of much 
darker colour round the yellow crest, the margin of the side lobes being 
whitish. It has obviously not yet reached its full development, and 
Messrs. Charlesworth must be congratulated on their brilliant acquisition, 
which was unanimously awarded a First-class Certificate.

RoyaL HORTICULTURAL. 
Cx Great Summer Show of the Royal Horticultural Society was held 
at Holland House, Kensington, on June 30th and two following days, 
and owing to the lateness of the date we were only able to give an account 
of the Certificated Orchids and the Official List of Awards in our July 
issue. We now add details of the different groups. The weather was 
remarkably bright and hot, causing considerable discomfort in the tents, 
but the Orchids suffered less than many other subjects, and made 4 
magnificent display. There was a large attendance, and among the early 
visitors were Queen Alexandra and the Dowager Empress Marie of Russia.
