THE ORCHID REVIEW. 187 
another very large and beautiful group, not for competition, or it would 
have received a similar award to the preceding. It contained excellent 
examples of most of the showy things which flower at this season, with a 
varied addition of rare and botanical species, which are equally interesting, 
if less showy, and attract more attention than some of the more familiar 
ones. One of the most striking things in the group was Zygopetalum x 
Perrenondii, shown in superb condition. Bifrenaria Harrisonize was 
represented by a good well-flowered plant. Thunia Bensoni and T. 
Marshalliana, Vanda teres, and V. Denisoniana were noteworthy; also a 
fine Cypripedium Mastersianum, C. x Lebaudyanum (Haynaldianum ? xX 
philippinense 3), C. Druryi, strong well-flowered plants of C. niveum, the 
richly-coloured Odontoglossum x excellens Prince of Orange, Cochlioda 
Neetzliana, and Dendrobium signatum. Passing over the common showy 
species, we noted a fine clump of the Birds-nest Orchid, Neottia Nidus-avis, 
from the Burford Woods, Orchis latifolia, the very pretty Stenoglottis 
longifolia and its variety alba, Trichocentrum calcaratum very well flowered, 
as also were good plants of Masdevallia peristeria, M. hieroglyphica and M. 
coriacea, Octomeria diaphana, Colax jugosus, the graceful and pretty 
Epidendrum Mooreanum, and E. arachnoglossum with handsome heads of 
flowers. The pretty little E. Endresii with its descendants E. x Endresio- 
Wallisii and E. X elegantulum were very interesting ; also E. Jurgensenii, 
E. glumaceum, Vanda coerulescens, Maxillaria Houtteana, Eria ornata, Disa 
racemosa, Oncidium nubigenum, the orange-brown O. Hrubyanum, 
Aeranthes dentiens, and many others. 
Sir Frederick Wigan, Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gr. Mr. Young) received 
a Silver-gilt Flora Medal for a very fine group, containing Cattleya Skinneri 
alba with three racemes, a good C. Mendelii, C. superba, C. Mossiz 
Beatrice, and other good forms of C. Mossix, Lelia purpurata Arthur 
Wigan, prettily zoned with light purple round the mouth of the lip, a very 
dark L. tenebrosa, Dendrobium Maccarthie and D. Parishii, Vanda 
Denisoniana, Miltonia Reezlii, and some fine Miltonia vexillaria, and 
Odontoglossum crispum, a good O. x Wilckeanum, O. x Andersonianum, 
and others, the handsome Cypripedium x Gertrude Hollington, C. x 
Godefroyz leucochilum, much more like C. niveum than many other forms, 
C- philippinense, the pretty little Coelogyne Schilleriana, a fine Cymbidium 
Lowianum, the singular little Eria extinctoria, &c. 
Earl Percy, Syon House, Brentford (gr. Mr. Wyethes) also received a 
Silver-gilt Flora Medal “ for Orchids and Fruit.” His group of the former 
contained good examples of most of the showy kinds now in flower, those 
specially noted being three good specimens of Oncidium sphacelatum, also 
O. concolor and O. Marshallianum, Dendrobium chrysotoxum, D. Bensone, 
and D. Phalznopsis, Cymbidium Lowianum, Ada aurantiaca, Brassia
