AUGUST, 1915-] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 243 
culture was awarded to this fine Odontoglossum. These plants occupied a 
small stage to the right of the entrance, and were set up with maiden-hair 
fern, 
Elizabeth, Lady Lawrence, Burford (Orchid grower Mr. Swindon) sent 
cut spikes of Cypripedium Stonei and the remarkable var. platyt nium, the 
latter a plant that is represented in very few collections, and very rarely 
exhibited (see page 250). 
Pantia Ralli, Esq., Ashtead Park, Epsom (gr. Mr. Farnes), showed 
a hybrid Cattleya called C. Eros, probably a hybrid of C. Mossia, and 
somewhat resembling a light-coloured C. Empress-Frederick, one of the 
pseudobulbs bearing two leaves. Its identity is uncertain, but it is distinct 
from the original C. Eros (Mossie X Walkeriana). 
Messrs. Mansell & Hatcher, Rawdon, East Yorks., staged a magnificent 
group, which was tastefully arranged, and secured the award of a Gold 
Medal. The back and the two ends were well elevated, the centre consisting 
of the gracefully arching spikes of about thirty fine examples of Phalznopsis 
amabilis, with other suitable things, while the ends were made up largely 
of Cattleyas and Leliocattleyas. The front and centre were low, and were 
filled with a number of smaller plants and choice hybrids, a few of which 
were elevated on moss-covered stands, giving a very graceful effect. We 
noted three well-flowered examples of the graceful Dendrochilum filiforme, 
several of the brilliant Cochlioda Netzliana, Promene xanthina, two good 
Paphinia cristata, Lycaste cruenta, Oncidium Harrisonianum and Kramer- 
ianum, the graceful Ccelogyne Dayana, Vanda teres, Anguloa Cliftonii, 
Cattleya Iris, Aérides odoratum, and other good things. Among a number 
of interesting hybrids were Odontoglossum Evelyn (spectabile x Phcebe), 
with handsomely blotched somewhat acuminate segments, six remarkably 
diverse forms of Odontioda Sunbeam (Oda. Vuylstekee X Odm. 
Lambeauianum), a good O. ornata, O. Clarissa (Oda. Bradshawie X 
Odm. illustrissimum), having lilac flowers densely dotted with rose-purple, 
and the crest yellow. O. Edith-Hodgson (Odm. tigrinum x Oda. 
Bradshawiz), having acuminate segments heavily marked with red-brown 
on a yellowish ground, O. Prince of Wales (Odm. Ernestii xX Oda. 
Charlesworthii), bearing three light rose-purple flowers of excellent shape, 
and other good things. 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, received a Silver-gilt Cup for a 
large and handsome group, which was well banked up at the centre and 
ends with Laliocattleyas and other good things. We noted many fine 
forms of L.-c. Canhamiana and Aphrodite, L.-c. gloriosa, brugensis and 
Isabel-Sander, Odontoglossum Uroskinneri album and many hybrids, 
Odontioda Vuylstekeze and O. Doris, Anguloa Ruckeri, several fine A. 
Cliftonii, and a natural hybrid between the two, a fine Stanhopea tigrina,
