EVENTS OF siogro. 
A YEAR of steady progress. Such, we think, must be the verdict after a 
survey of the leading events of the past year. A large number of new 
hybrids have flowered, a few novelties have been introduced from abroad, 
and the interest in the various meetings and exhibitions has been fully 
maintained. The great annual Shows at the Temple and at Holland House 
were finer than ever, and we may mention the two Shows held in connection 
with the International Exhibition at Brussels, and one in the United States, 
at which Orchids were well represented. 
NOVELTIES. 
Foremost among the novelties we must note the distinct and striking 
Anguloa Cliftoni, which was exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., 
and received a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. Singularly enough 
it appeared quite unexpectedly, and in very few examples, though more will 
probably be imported. Messrs. Charlesworth obtained a similar award for 
the beautiful albino Cattleya Lawrenceana Mary-Regina, and for Sobralia 
Charlesworthii. Messrs. Sander & Sons obtained a single plant of the 
remarkable Phaius Cooperi, which first obtained a Botanical Certificate 
from the R.H.S., and afterwards an Award of Merit. It is probably 
Malayan, but its origin is only vaguely known. This firm has also intro- 
duced a number of interesting Orchids from Peru, through their collector 
Mr. Forget, among which we may mention the beautiful Oncidium Sandere, 
an ally of O. Papilio, and Houlletia Sanderi, which obtained Awards of 
Merit from the R.H.S., also Lycaste peruviana and Brassia Forgetiana, 
which received Botanical Certificates, with a few others. Cynorchis 
Morlandii is an East African species which flowered at Kew, and several 
other species from various collections have been described. 
HYBRIDs. 
Novelties among hybrids have been numerous, and we can only mention 
a few of them, beginning with Oncidioda Charlesworthii, the new generic 
hybrid raised by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., from Cochlioda Neetzliana 
and Oncidium incurvum, to which a Certificate of Appreciation was given 
by the R.H.S. Other striking generic hybrids are two Odontiodas raised
