THE ORCHID REVIEW. 171 
A. H. Smee, Esq., The Grange, Hackbridge (gr. Mr. Humphreys), also 
received a Botanical Certificate for Epidendrum vesicatum, a species 
having glaucons, concave leaves, and a terminal head of whitish flowers. 
J. Colman, Esq., Gatton Park (gr. Mr. Bound), exhibited a fine form of 
Odontoglossum XX Andersonianum Ruckerianum, a fine stand of 
Cymbidium Lowianum, and Odontoglossum spikes, arranged with 
Asparagus plumosus, and a smaller floral device made up of Sophronitis 
grandiflora, Masdevallia Veitchiana, Lzlio-cattleya x Schilleriana, Vanda 
suavis, &c. 
F. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey (gr. Mr. Stafford), sent 
some good flowers of Cattleya Schroeder, and an interesting hybrid 
derived from Dendrobium nobile xX Farmeri, which, however, nearly 
resembled the seed parent in size and colour, a curious case of prepotency, 
somewhat analagous to that seen in D. X Backhousei. 
G. F. Moore, Esq., Chardwar, Bourton-on-the-Water (gr. Mr. Morris), 
sent two splendid cut spikes of Cattleya Lawrenceana. 
R. Brooman-White, Esq., Arddarroch, Garelochead (gr. Mr. Cole), 
sent five cut spikes of Odontoglossum xX Andersonianum tier 
-and Cattleya Schreedere. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, staged a superb group of 
species, to which a Gold Medal was given. Among the more noteworthy 
plants may be mentioned Lzlio-cattleya Xx G. S. Ball (L. cinnabarina ¢ 
x C. Schreedere 3), with handsome flowers nearly uniformly orange- 
coloured, Zygocolax x Veitchii, Chysis x langleyensis, Epidendrum xX 
O’Brienianum giganteum, much larger than the original, E. X langleyense, 
and numerous other better known hybrids, in fine condition. Among the 
species were a fine series of Cattleya Mendelii, C. Schroedere, Miltonia 
Phalenopsis, a fine example of Odontoglossum pulchellum, and various 
other showy things too numerous to mention. An Award of Merit was 
given to Lzlio-cattleya x Hyeana (L. purpurata ? xX C, Lawrenceana 4), 
a very richly-coloured hybrid, which first flowered in 1894. 
Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Coloniale, Brussels, staged a beautiful 
group, to which a Silver Flora Medal was given. It contained many finely 
spotted forms of Odontoglossum crispum, some good O. Pescatorei, a fine 
O. triumphans, some beautiful natural hybrids, among which forms of O. 
x Adrianz were conspicuous, and a large and richly-coloured form of 
Miltonia vexillaria, called Memoria Lindeni. An Award of Merit was given 
to Odontoglossum crispum tessellatum, a fine form, blotched and marbled 
with reddish purple, and tinged with purple on the back of the segments. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, showed Lzlio-cattleya x Harold 
Morris (Cattleya Schilleriana x Lelio-cattleya x. Schilleriana), fairly 
intermediate in character, and with a rich crimson-coloured lip.
