THE ORCHID REVIEW. 213 



A second meeting was held on June 24th and 25th, at Holland House, 

 Kensington, by kind permission of the Earl of Ilchester, in connection 

 with the Coronation Rose Show, and, as at the Temple Shows, Orchids 

 formed the leading feature, the group contributed by Messrs. Sander & 

 Sons being one of the finest ever brought together. 



Sir F. Wigan, Bart., Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gr. Mr. Young), staged 

 a fine group of Cattleyas and Lselias, including C. Mossiae and its varieties 

 Wageneri, fulgens, Reineckiana, ccelestis, and Arnoldiana, C. Mendelii and 

 varieties, Lselio-cattleya X Wiganiae, L.-c. X Canhamiana, and two 

 beautiful varieties, L.-c. X Arnoldiana, L.-c. X Hippolyta langleyensis, 

 L.-c. X eximia, L.-c. X Wiganiae, Brassavola Digbyana, two fine plants of 

 Sobralia macrantha alba, bearing 28 flowers and buds, Odontoglossum X 

 spectabile and others. An Award of Merit was given to Cattleya X Prince 

 Edward (Schilleriana X Warscewiczii), a pretty rose-purple flower with 

 some crimson-purple veining on the lip ; and Awards of Merit were granted 

 to the fine richly-coloured Miltonia vexillaria gigantea, and the beautiful 

 natural hybrid Sobralia X Wiganiae (macrantha X xantholeuca). 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. White), received 

 a Cultural Commendation for a fine profusely-flowered plant of the curious 

 Maxillaria scurrilis, and a similar award for a magnificent example of 

 Habenaria rhodochila. 



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

 Award of Merit for Cypripedium Godefroyas leucochilum Hessle var., a 

 beautiful light-yellow variety having the sepals and petals covered with a 

 broad network of purple-brown. 



J. Colman, Esq., Gatton Park, Reigate (gr. Mr. Bound), staged a fine 

 group, in which a very good example of Oncidium macranthum, together 

 with many fine Masdevallies and Odontoglossums, were specially noticed. 



Messrs. F. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, staged a magnificent group, 

 occupying about 350 square feet, each plant standing out by itself, and the 

 more prominent being placed on hillocks of short green moss, which set 

 them off to great advantage. It was notable for the great number of forms 

 of Odontoglossum crispum it contained, no less than four Awards of Merit 

 being given to varieties of this beautiful Orchid. Among others were many 

 Lselio-cattleyas, including L.-c. X Henry Greenwood, L.-c. X Aphrodite, 

 L.-c. X Canhamiana, L.-c. X Our Queen, and L.-c. X Memoria Baroness 

 Schroder, together with the handsome rose-purple Cattleya X H. G.

 scarlet Cochlioda Ncetzliana, Epidendrum prismatocarpum with eighteen 

 spikes, the yellow Phaius X Ashworthianus, Cypripedium Lawren- 

 ceanum and various others, forms of Miltonia vexillaria, and many other
