THE ORCHID REVIEW. 221 
of Miltonia vexillaria, Odontoglossum crispum and other Orchids. We 
noted also some fine examples of Oncidium Marshallianum, sarcodes, 
varicosum, and Lelia purpurata, remarkable among the latter being L. p. 
Ashton, whose flower is pure white, with only a trace of pencilling on the 
yellow disc. The flower, however, was undeveloped. We also noted 
Cattleya Mossiz, Mrs. C. H. Feiling, with a very dark and richly coloured 
lip, which secured an Award of Merit, two good plants of Epidendrum 
hastatum with eleven flowers each, Cypripedium X Gertrude Hollington, 
C. Masterianum, Physosiphon Loddigesii, some fine Lelia tenebrosa and 
other showy things. 
Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, Upper Hollow, also staged a large and 
showy group, to which a Silver-gilt Banksian Medal was given. It 
contained some fine examples of Oncidium Marshallianum, concolor and 
sarcodes, Calanthe Sanderiana and veratrifolia, a nice lot of Lelia purpurata, 
together with nearly a score each of Cattleya Mendelii and Mossi, the 
former being especially in fine condition, Cymbidium Lowianum, Miltonia 
flavescens, Anguloa Clowesii, Vanda tricolor, suavis and teres, Dendrobium 
Devonianum, Coelogyne Massangeana, Cypripedium superbiens, barbatum, 
Odontoglossums, &c., also a fine example of Macodes Petola under a 
bell-glass. 
Messrs. James Backhouse and Sons, York, had also a small group of 
Orchids tastefully arranged with foliage plants. It included a good 
Lelia tenebrosa, Sobralia macrantha and x Amesiana, the handsome 
Oncidium Lanceanum and Marshallianum, a very fine form of Cattleya 
Schilleriana, Dendrobium Dearei and suavissianum, together with a few 
examples of Cattleya Mossize, Mendelii, Odontoglossum crispum, and 
Cypripedium bellatulum.
