Messrs. W. L. Lewis & Co. also secured a Silver-gilt Flora Medal for 
another fine group, in which was a good Chysis bractescens, Cypripedium 
Druryi, C. niveum, the very large and light-coloured Cattleya Mossiz 
Lewisii, Oncidum pulvinatum, O. ampliatum, O. cornigerum, Brassia 
verrucosa, Lycaste Deppei, Promenza citrina, Odontoglossum Pescatorei 
Lewisii, &c. Lelia purpurata bella is a superb white form, with two 
purple blotches in the throat, to which an Award of Merit was given. 
Messrs. B.S. Williams & Son staged a very large and attractive group, to 
which a Silver-gilt Flora Medal was given, among which may be noted a 
splendid plant of Oncidium sarcodes with several large panicles of flowers, 
several good O. concolor, O. Lietzei, Cochlioda Neetzliana, Trichopilia 
coccinea, Selenipedium X Schroedere, Cypripedium exul, the rare 
Pescatorea Klabochorum, Odontoglossum Harryanum, with the usual 
complement of showy Cattleyas, Lelias, and Odontoglossums. The 
rare Brassia Keiliana and Vanda concolor each received a Botanical 
Certificate. 
Mr. J. Prewett, of Hammersmith, exhibited a good form. of Cypri- 
pedium X Vervetianum. 
Messrs. James Backhouse and Sons, York, had some good Odonto- 
glosssum crispum arranged in a collection of miscellaneous plants. 
Mr F.S; Ware, Tottenham, had a fine pan of Cypripedium Calceolus 
and C. arietinum, also two each of C. pubescens and C. montanum, and 
a single example of C. acaule, in a collection of hardy plants. 
We also noticed that cut Orchids were largely used among the 
Bouquets, Floral Designs, Wreaths, and Table Decorations, and with 
great effect, especially in the exhibit of Messrs. Perkins & Sons, of 
Coventry. 
CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
F.G.5S., Bishops Auckland. A dark form of Cypripedium barbatum. 
T.S., Tyntesfield. The Dendrobium appears to be form of D. x Dominianum. 
S.H. Leelia purpurata rosea. 
J.S. We cannot express any opinion respecting a plant which we have not seen, but 
you may take it as certain that Cattleya floribunda is not a natural hybrid. Such plants 
never occur in quantity. We shall doubtless be able to tell you more about it some day ; 
meantime you must use your own discretion as to its no velty.
