THE ORCHID REVIEW. 53 



J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., S. Woodford (gr. Mr. Davis), received Awards 

 of Merit for Cypripedium insigne Fowlerianum, a dark, well spotted form, 

 and Dendrobium Wardianum Fowlerianum, a very curious form, in which 

 the lateral sepals have each a yellow blotch with some dark purple markings 

 at their inner angles near the base, thus becoming lip-like in character. 



F. Wellesley, Esq., Westfield, Woking (gr. Mr. Gilbert), showed 

 Cypripedium X Hera superbum, C. X nitens var. Celeus (insigne Chantini 

 X villosum), a very fine variety, C. X Dr. Conway (exul X callosum), an 

 emerald green flower, with some pale rose on the dorsal sepal inside the 

 white margin, and a few chocolate spots on the base and also on the 

 petals; and C. X rubescens Ranjitsinghi (oenanthum superbum X Boxallii), 

 a handsome form which received an Award of Merit. The dorsal sepal 

 was blackish crimson, bordered with white, and the petals and lip Indian 

 yellow tinged with brown. 



A. Seth Smith, Esq,, Silvermere, Cobham, received a Cultural Com- 

 mendation for a noble specimen of Angrsecum sesquipedale bearing ten 



H. T. Pitt, Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill (gr. Mr. Thurgood), showed 

 a finely spotted form of Odontoglossum X loochristiense, O. X crispo- 

 Harryanum, and O. pardinum, the latter having yellow flowers spotted with 

 brown, and the segments narrow and undulate. It received a Botanical 

 Certificate. 



Frau Ida Brandt, Zurich (gr. Mr. Schlecht), sent Lycaste X Lucianiana, 

 a pretty natural hybrid between L. Skinneri and L. lasioglossa, also a small 

 green-flowered species allied to L. xytriophora and a small form of 

 Maxillaria lepidota, or a closely allied species. 



W. P. Burkinshaw, Esq., Hessle, Hull (gr. Mr. Barker), showed 

 Laelio-cattleya X luminosa (L. tenebrosa X C. aurea), a pretty hybrid 

 having bronzy yellow sepals and petals, the latter slightly spotted with 

 rose, and a purplish rose lip with darker veining. 



Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, staged a small, but 

 choice group, which gained a Silver Banksian Medal. It contained five 

 plants of the handsome Laelio-cattleya X Charlesworthii (L. cinnabarina 

 X C. Dowiana aurea), one form having bright yellow sepals and petals, 

 some fine cut spikes of Oncidium splendidum (grown in leaf-mould), a fine 

 example of Cypripedium X aureum Hyeanum, a well-flowered example of 

 Lycaste lasioglossa, L X Bailie, and some good L. Skinneri, an Award of 

 Merit being given to L. S. Lady Gladys, a charming white form, having a 

 delicate freckling of pale rose pink on the petals. 



Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, showed Cypri-
