sent the handsome Odontioda Aurora, copiously blotched with red on a 
whitish yellow ground, and the margins of the sepals and petals lilac-rose.

and a few Cypripediums. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath, staged a brilliant group 
of splendidly-grown plants, to which a Williams Gold Medal was awarded. 
The leading feature was a fine series of Miltonia Charlesworthii, M. 
vexillaria var. Lyoth, and other derivatives of M. vexillaria memoria G. D. 
Owen, these bearing over 300 spikes, and we noted also fine examples of 
Odontioda Brewii, Madeline, Bradshawize, Cooksoniz, and others, a lot of 
blotched Odontoglossums, O. harvengtense aureum (triumphans aureum X 
crispum xanthotes) having light yellow flowers, blotched with darker 
yellow, but without the usual brown markings, O. eximium xanthotes, O. 
Othello, Leeliocattleya Aphrodite, Rudolph, and Ulyssess, Cattleya 
Warscewiczii with spikes of five and six flowers, Lelia tenebrosa Walton 
Grange var., and L. purpurata Latona, which latter proves to be the albino 
of L. lobata (see p. 155), the whole forming a very attractive display. 
Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, Tunbridge Wells, were awarded a Silver 
Banksian Medal for a choice group, in which Odontoglossums and 
Odontiodas were prominent, the former including O. Uroskinneri with two 
spikes, with examples of O. armainvillierense, eximillus, a well-blotched O. 
Pescatorei, Mauretania, and others, and the latter some good O. Henryi,

Maudiz and C. Holdenii, Cattleya Saturn alba, and a few other interesting
