62 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
de Curte (Award of Merit); C. X Jupiter (Award of Merit); C. x Leeanum 
aureum (Award of Merit): C. x Mrs. Maynard, a pretty variety but not 
strongly grown. This exhibitor staged a very select group of Cypripediums, 
in which the above were included, and was awarded a Silver Medal. 
D. B. Rappart, Esq., Liscard (gr., Mr. Nicholson), showed Cypripedium 
x Harrisianum albens (Award of Merit). 
H. H. Bolton, Esq., Newchurch (gr., Mr. Eastwood), showed Dendro- | 
bium X Andromeda (Leechianum xX Cassiope) to which an Award of Merit 
was given. 
Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, showed Cypripedium x Eury- 
ades magnificum, C. xX Lathamianum inversum, and a seedling derived 
from C. Chamberlainianum x Leeanum giganteum (Award of Merit). This 
may be considered as a variety of Paphiopedilum X Chamber-Leeanum 
(supra, vi. p. 18). 
Messrs. Heath and Son, Cheltenham, showed a well grown plant and 
excellent form of Cypripedium Rothschildianum Elliottianum, for which 
both an Award of Merit and a Cultural Certificate were given. 
ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
THE first meeting of the year was held at the Drill Hall, James Street, 
Westminster, on January roth, when a good display of winter-blooming 
Orchids was brought together, and a particularly interesting feature was the 
appearance of the first artificially raised hybrid Angraecum, from the 
establishment of Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, which is described below. 
The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. 
White), showed the handsome yellow Sophronitis Rossiteriana, which 
chiefly differs from S. grandiflora in colour, and is probably a variety of it. 
It received an Award of Merit. 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr. Mr. Murray), 
showed Calanthe x Cooksoni,C. x Sibyl, a finer, pure white form, the 
carmine-tinted C. x Phoebe, and a fine hybrid Cypripedium recorded as C. 
bellatulum X hirsutissimum, but which the Committee decided should be 
named C. X Schofieldianum superbum. It was large, with cream-white 
ground and evenly-spotted with dark purple. An Award of Merit was given. 
Walter Cobb, Esq., Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. Howes), showed 
the handsome Cypripedium x J. Howes, a fine form of C. insigne, and a 
rather sparsely spotted form of C. bellatulum with yellowish white ground, 
called Dulcote variety, to which an Award of Merit was given. 
De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks (gr. Mr. Cooke), showed 
a large rosy form of Lelia anceps called var. Titania, and L.. a. rosefieldi-
