THE ORCHID REVIEW. 147 



Novelty, Cattleya X intertexta, Chysis X Chelsoni, C. X Seden 

 Dendrobium X Alcippe, Epidendrum X Clarissa, and Selenipedium X 

 Hylas (leucorrhodum X caudatum Wallisii). An Award of Merit was given* 

 to Laelia X Flavina (pumila X flava), a pretty dwarf hybrid, most like L. 

 pumila in habit, but the spike elongated, and the flowers of good size, and 

 primrose-yellow, with an orange-coloured disc to the lip. Masdevallia X 

 Circe (tovarensis X Chimaera) also received a similar award. The flower 

 is larger than in M. tovarensis, but with the more equal segments of M. 

 Chimaera, and the colour yellowish, with red papillae, and three red lines in 

 each segment, the slender tails being also of the latter colour. 



Messrs. F. Sander & Co... St. Albans, received a Silver Banksian Medal 

 for an effective group, containing good hybrid Phaius, Saccolabium 

 calceolare, Cattleya Schrcederae, Odontoglossum ramossissimum, O. crispum, 

 &c, also four fine plants of O. X crispo-Harryanum. 



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

 choice group, to which a Bronze Banksian Medal was given. It 

 contained the charming albino Laelia Jongheana alba, Cattleya Schroederae 

 Fascinator, a richly-coloured C. Trianae, Cypripedium X Colossus (villosum 

 X Sallieri aureum), Odontoglossum crispum Dora, white blotched with 

 chocolate, O. X Hallio-crispum, O. X Adrianae Daphne, a large and prettily 

 spotted form, and others. An Award of Merit was given to Laelio-cattleya 

 X Dora (L.-c. X Hippolyta var. Phoebe X C. Schroederae), a large and 

 handsome hybrid, having salmon-yellow sepals and petals, and a darker tip. 



Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, showed good examples of 

 Cattleya Schroederae, C. S. Phyllis, a light rose-coloured form, and a 

 beautiful example of C. S. alba, C. Trianae striata, Saccolabium 

 ampullaceum, Cypripedium X macropterum, C. X Morganiae, &c. 



Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, Upper Holloway, staged, in a group 

 among other plants, some good Odontoglossums, Cattleya Mendelii, C. 

 Mossiae, Ada aurantiaca, Cymbidium Devonianum, Cypripediums, 

 Trichopilia lepida, &c. 



At a meeting of the Scientific Committee, held on the same date, Mr. 

 James Douglas brought a flower of a hybrid Cypripedium, in which the lip, 

 instead of forming a pouch, was divided into three portions, a basal portion, 

 concave and trough-like, green, marked with small purplish dots ; an anterior 

 portion, raised and hump-like, striped with dark brownish purple on an 

 olive-coloured ground, and on either side of this was a wide, oblong, project- 

 ing wing. The column was normal. 



At the meeting held on April 22nd, the display of Orchids was exceptionally 



fine, and the space available was hardly adequate for staging them properly.
