.S.—Oncidium luridum, Lindl. The Aca igre ir Pier piney classed as 
an imported Pips oo is probably a reversion from O. Adrianz, as indicat the details 
of the lip and column wings. e plant supposed to have come with ans sitters fibre is

with the 
W.B.—Masdevallia Pourbaixii (caudata X Veitchiana). Leeliocattleya Fascinator. The 
Cypripedium is uncertain, as the exceptionally small lip, with the other details of the flower 
and the leaf markings, suggest something distinct. Can you trace its history ?

ERRATA. 
The hybrid called Odontoglossum Baileyi (page 156) to which a Preliminary 
Commendation was given, should have been called O. Farmeri, It was named after Mr. 
H. Farmer, of Tunbridge Wells. It is said that the former name appeared on the 
exhibit card by some inadvertence. 
Cattleya Naida (page :46) was a printer’s error, and should be corrected to C. Naidia.
