THE ORCHID REVIEW. 249 
The members present were :—Messrs. Shorland Ball, in the chair, Gratrix, 
Holmes, Stevens, Johnson, Upjohn, and Weathers (hon. sec.). 
G. Shorland Ball, Esq., Wilmslow (gr. Mr. Gibbons), showed a very 
fine hybrid Cypripedium derived from C. Rothschildianum x selligerum, 
with a spike of three large blooms. The flower is fairly intermediate 
between the parents in colour and markings, but most resembles the 
seed-bearing parent in form and character of growth (A. M.). 
Thomas Statter, Esq., Stand Hall (gr. Mr. Johnson), showed a very 
good Leelio-cattleya X Canhamiana alba (A. M.). 
John Leemann, Esq., Heaton Mersey (gr. Mr. Edge), showed Lelia 
xanthina, very pretty and a good variety (A. M.), Lelio-cattleya xX 
elegans Queen Empress, L.-c. X radiata, a pretty and interesting hybrid 
between L. purpurata and C. nobilior (A. M.), Cattleya Eldorado Wallisii, 
and Cypripedium Lawrenceanum. 
Samuel Gratrix, Esq., Whalley Range (gr. Mr. McLeod), showed a 
splendid Cattleya Gaskelliana alba (F.-c.C.), C. Mossiz Wageneri 
(F.-c.C.), Cypripedium callosum Sandere, said to have been raised from 
seed, and resembling the type in all particulars, but with flower rather 
on the small side, attributable no doubt to the growth being somewhat 
weak (F.-c. C.), C. x Prince Edward of York (Rothschildianum X 
Sanderianum), a very pretty hybrid, fairly intermediate between the 
parents (A.M.), C. xX Gowerianum magnificum, C. x I’Ansoni, a very 
remarkable hybrid from C. Rothschildianum X Morganiz, with the 
flower somewhat malformed, for which reason the Committee expressed 
a desire to see it when next in flower, and Cattleya Warscewiczii (gigas). 
The Ven. Archdeacon Rawstone, Blackburn, showed a very fine form 
of Cattleya Warscewiczii (gigas) with an exceedingly dark lip. 
John Richardson, Esq., Altrincham, showed a cut bloom of a very good 
variety of Sobralia xantholeuca. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, showed Cypripedium X Premier, 
a fine hybrid between C. X beechense X Rothschildianum (A.M.), C. X 
Garbari (Lawrenceanum xX Rothschildianum), and C. xX Lord Derby 
(superbiens X Rothschildianum), this latter not in any way comparable with 
the variety in the collection of Mr. Statter, and shown some time ago by 
him at a meeting of this Society. 
Messrs. Heath & Son, Cheltenham, showed Cypripedium X pendulum 
(Haynaldianum xX Argus Moensii), and the pretty little Dendrobium 
Fytchianum. 
Mr. John Robson, Altrincham, showed Cattleya Gaskelliana pallida. 
Mr. A. J. Keeling, Bingley, showed Cypripedium X selligerum majus 
and C. X Vipani.
