Sveremerr, 1916.] THE ORCIIID REVIEW. 227 
Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, Tunbridge Wells, sent a_ brilliant 
Odontioda of the Red Cross type, the handsome Cypripedium Daisy 
Barclay, and a good Cattleya. 
Messrs. Flory & Black, Slough, sent Cattleya Helen Langley and C. 
Nena (Adula x Dietrichiana), the latter a promising hybrid in which the 
influence of the original C. bicolor is well marked, both in the texture of 
the flower and in the shape of the lip. The flower is large and of ‘good 
shape, and bright rose-purple in colour, with the front lobe and apex of the 
side lobes ruby-purple. 
At the meeting held on August 15th Orchids were rather more 
numerous, and the awards consisted of three medals, two Awards of Merit, 
and one Cultural Commendation.

CULTURAL COMMENDATION. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM ASPIDORHINUM.—To Mr. F. W. Thurgood, gardener 
to H. T. Pitt, Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill, for a remarkably well-grown 
plant, bearing about three dozen spikes of flowers, with yellow sepals and 
petals spotted with brown, and a broad white lip with a few purple spots. 
OTHER EXHIBITS. 
F. J. Hanbury, Esq., Brockhurst, East Grinstead (gr. Mr. Matthews), 
showed Cypripedium Miss Faith Hanbury (niveum X glaucophyllum), 
bearing a dwarf spike of three flowers, most like the former in shape and 
colour, but bearing dotted purple lines on the petals and dorsal sepal, and 
producing a very pretty effect. The lower flower came from the extreme 
base of the scape between the leaves. 
Dr. Miguel Lacroze, Bryndir, Roehampton Lane (gr. Mr. Creswell),
