THE ORCHID REVIEW. 221 
ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
THE meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, held at the Drill Hall, 
James Street, Westminster, on June 15th, was the first after the great 
Temple Show, and, as usual, at this meeting, the display of Orchids was a 
small one, though it included several very interesting things, and eight 
awards of various kinds were made. 
Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. White), sent a 
small group of choice things, including the handsome Vanda X Miss 
Joaquim, now flowering for the first time in Europe, to which a First-class 
Certificate was given. The plant was between seven and eight feet high, 
and carried an inflorescence with nine buds and three expanded flowers, the 
latter being rose-coloured, with an orange disc to the lip. Its history is 
given at page 245 of our first volume. Botanical Certificates were given to 
Geodorum Augusti and the rare Aéranthus carpophorus, Rchb. f., and 
a Cultural Commendation to a very pretty, well-flowered plant of 
Cirrhopetalum nutans. Dendrobium crystallinum, Lelio-cattleya xX 
Euterpe, and a fine inflorescence of Phalaenopsis amabilis was also 
shown. 
De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks (gr. Mr. Cooke) received 
an Award of Merit for Odontoglossum crispum Crawshayanum, a fine, 
heavily blotched form, whose flowers were hardly expanded. 
Sir Frederick Wigan, Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gr. Mr. Young), sent 
several fine things, including Epidendrum Meduse with eight flowers, the 
rare Cymbidium tigrinum, a fine form of Lzlio-cattleya x Canhamiana, 
with another handsome Lzelio-cittleya of unrecorded parentage, Cattleya 
Mendelii, a beautiful form of C. Mossiz, Miltonia vexillaria candida, and a 
rosy form of M. spectabilis. 
R. I. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell (gr. Mr. Chapman), 
sent a fine dark form of Lelia tenebrosa, a pretty light variety of L. purpurata, 
and a singular form of Miltonia vexillaria, in which each segment bears 
some purple lines, something like those on the lip. 
Frau Ida Brandt, Riesbach, Zurich (gr. Mr. Schlecht), sent the 
interesting Pescatorea cerina, Odontoglossum maculatum, and others. 
H. Druce, Esq., The Beeches, Circus Road, St. John’s Wood (gr. 
Mr. Walker), sent a pretty hybrid Cypripedium, derived from C. niveum X 
bellatulum, resembling C. Godefroyz. 
H. J. Elwes, Esq.. Colesborne Park, Andoversford (gr. Mr. Lane), sent 
a pretty form of Disa x kewensis(D. X Veitchii x tripetaloides), with 
lighter coloured flowers than the original form. 
H. T. Pitt, Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill (gr. Mr. Aldous), sent a blush- 
white form of Anguloa uniflora.
