Avcust, 1916.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 201 
years ago. It should be added that the Friar Park plant, which is excep- 
tionally strong, is without the usual dark blotches in the leaves, a character 
which I believe accompanies the absence of purple markings from the 
flowers in this species. It is a charming variety.—R. A. ROLFE.” It 
should be added that the fern-like foliage included in the photograph is 
that of Corydalis cheiranthifolia, which was growing immediately behind 
the Orchis.

WING to the abnormal conditions caused by the war, the Great 
Summer Show, which was held at Holland House, Kensington, on 
July 4th, 5th, and 6th, was on a somewhat reduced scale, and the usual 
functions were suspended, but the Show suffered nothing in respect of 
quality, and many excellent exhibits were staged. The weathe- was fine 
throughout, and there was a good attendance, though the visitors were not 
as numerous as on some former occasions. Some excellent Orchids were 
shown, but the groups were restricted in size, and the awards consisted of 
two Gold Medals, three Williams Memorial Medals, a Silver Lindley 
Medal, and three other Medals, one First-class Certificate, four Awards of 
Merit, and two Cultural Commendations.
