THE ORCHID REVIEW. 285 
Mrs. Briggs-Bury, Bank House, Accrington (gr. Mr. Wilkinson), sent 
Cattleya x illuminata, a very handsome hybrid of unrecorded parentage, to 
which a First-class Certificate was given. It bore a general resemblance to 
C. X Atalanta; the sepals were honey-yellow, slightly tinged with rose ; 
the petals broader, similarly coloured, with a trace of light purple veining; 
and the lip deeply trilobed, with the side lobes folded over the column, 
blush pink, and tipped with purple-crimson at the apex, and the front lobe 
eee expanded, somewhat crisped, and of a glowing purple-crimson. 
W. W. Astor, Esq., Cliveden Park, Maidenhead (gr. Mr. Bacon), sent a 
noble specimen of the Dove Orchid, Peristeria elata, bearing eight fine 
spikes of its remarkable, wax-like, fragrant flowers, which always excite 
remark on account of the column and side lobes of the lip resembling a 
dove with expanded wings. It was an example of splendid culture, which 
was recognized by the award of a Cultural Commendation. 
Captain Holford, Westonbirt, Tetbury (gr. Mr. Chapman), sent Cypri- 
pedium X Milo, Westonbirt variety, in fine condition, the upper sepal 
being white, with dotted purple lines, and the petals shining red-brown; 
the handsome Sobralia xantholeuca, a very fine example of Dendrobium 
formosum giganteum, three handsome spikes of Dendrobium Phalznopsis, 
ranging from eighteen to twenty-two expanded flowers on each (Cultural 
Commendation), and Odontoglossum xX Adrianz Countess of Morley, a 
beautiful, cream-white form, bearing large, chocolate-coloured blotches on 
the sepals, smaller and fewer ones on the petals, and one large, dark brown 
blotch and some small spots on the handsomely fringed lip (Award of 
Merit.) 
W. C. Walker, Esq., Winchmore Hill (gr. Mr. Cragg), sent a good 
Cattleya bicolor, to which an Award of Merit was given. It was fairly 
typical in character, the sepals and petals being bright green, and the front 
lobe of the lip bright rose-purple. 
J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, South Woodford (gr. Mr. Davis), 
showed a plant of Lzlio-cattleya x Schilleriana, called Glebelands variety, 
having flowers of good shape, white tinged with lilac, and the front lobe of 
the lip bright rose-purple, with a narrow lavender-coloured margin. 
Sir William Marriott, Down House, Blandford (gr. Mr. Denny), sent a 
plant called Cattleya x armainvillersiana (C. Mendelii x Warscewiczii) 
having white sepals and petals, tinged with pale lilac, and the front lobe of 
the lip and the margin of the side lobes purple. 
Mr. H. A. Tracy, Amyand Park Road, Twickenham, sent a plant called 
Lelio-cattleya X elegans, var. J. Davis, to which an Award of Merit was 
given. It is a fine form, having pale, rosy lilac sepals and petals, the tube 
of the lip white, and the front lobe bright rose-purple.
