37° THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
AUTUMN-FLOWERING Orchids are now a very numerous class, and the 
display of these plants at the Drill Hall, Buckingham Gate, Westminster, 
on November 6th, was very fine. The members of the Orchid Committee 
present were :—H. J. Veitch, Esq., in the chair, and Messrs. H. Ballantine, 
H. J. Chapman, W. Cobb, J. Coleman, N. C. Cookson, De B. Crawshay,

J. O’Brien (Hon. Sec.). 
The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. 
Mr. White), staged a very interesting group, remarkable alike for variety 
and good culture, to which a Silver Flora Medal was given. It contained 
_ the handsome Vanda Sanderiana Burford var., a finely-flowered example of 
V. Kimballiana, Miltonia x Lamarcheana, Dendrobium sanguinolentum,

centre, and most like M. cucullata in shape, and Botanical Certificates to 
Ansellia humilis and Masdevallia burfordiensis, the latter. one of Mr. 
Lehmann’s introductions, and nearly allied to M. angulata. 
H. Worthington, Esq., Whalley Range, Manchester, exhibited the

Society’s rules.

including Cymbidium Tracyanum, Dendrobium Phalenopsis, Oncidium
