this collection also received an Award of Merit, one form exhibited being 
particularly fine. 
At the meeting held on August 13th Orchids were much more 
numerous, and among the hybrids several sterling novelties put in their 
first appearance. 
The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. 
Mr. White), staged an interesting group of well-grown plants, including 
several rarities, a Silver Banksian Medal being awarded. Two plants 
selected for Awards of Merit were Lelia monophylla, with over forty of its 
brilliant scarlet flowers, and Maxillaria fucata with sixteen flowers, while 
Botanical Certificates went to Polystachya odorata, Dendrobium longicornu, 
and the pretty little Polycycnis Lehmanni. A magnificent plant of Rhyncho- 
stylis coelestis (Saccolabium cceleste), with sixteen spikes, also received a 
Cultural Commendation. Other interesting things were Lzlio-cattleya 
X exoniensis, three good forms of Phalaenopsis Esmeralda, Calanthe 
natalensis, Vanda Hookeri, Aérides Lawrencee var. Sanderiana, and the 
singular hybrid Cypripedium xX Sanderi-selligerum (C. X selligerum ? X 
C. Sanderianum 3), which was previously exhibited without a name. (See
