raceme of three flowers and one bud, much like A. sesquipedale, but with a 
short spur. A First-class Certificate was awarded to the plant, and a 
Silver Flora Medal to Mr. J. Seden, its raiser. Another interesting plant 
was Epicattleya xX Mrs. James O’Brien, derived from Cattleya Bowringiana 
¢ and Epidendrum x O’Brienianum 3, to which an Award of Merit was
