254 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
unnamed seedling believed to be from L. purpurata Schroederi and C. 
Schreedere, Lelia x nigrescens (pumila 2 X tenebrosa 3), Cattleya X 
calummata, and C. X Gaudii (Leopoldi? xX Loddigesii 3), which proves 
identical with the natural hybrid C. X Patrocinii, St. Leger (O.R., 1. p- 343) 
and thus is specially interesting. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, staged a very fine group of 
hybrids, in many cases with one or both parents. The hybrids included 
Lelia-cattleya » Aphrodite eximia, x Canhamiana, X Zephyra, X 
felix, and x Hippolyta, Epiphronitis xX Veitchi, Sobralia x Veitchii, 
Cattleya x Enid, Epidendrum x O’Brienianum, x Endresio-Wallisii, X 
langleyensis, x radicanti-vitellinum, Disa x Veitchii, x kewensis,’ x lang- 
leyensis, and x Diores var. Clio, the beautiful Phalenopsis x Luedde- 
violacea, Masdevallia x Gairiana, * Imogen, Odontoglossum x excellens, 
Spathoglottis X aureo-Vieillardii, Dendrobium x rhodostoma, Cypripedium 
x vernixium, and several others. They also exhibited Messrs. Charles- 
worth’s interesting Epilzlia x Charlesworthii (L. cinnabarina ¢ Epidendrum 
radicans g ), to which an Award of Merit was given. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, staged an interesting 
group, containing Lelio-cattleya x Arnoldiana, the fine Cypripedium X 
I’Ansoni (one flower having a double staminode, but both anthers perfect), 
x Milmanii, x Alice, x T. W. Bond, x Alfred Hollington, macropterum, 
x De Witt Smith, and x Lawrenceano-Mastersianum, in many cases 
together with one or both parents. They also sent the remarkable Dendro- 
bium sanguineum, D. harbatulum, and ‘some good forms of Cattleya 
Gaskelliana, Eldorado and Mendelii. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, staged several fine hybrid Cypri- 
pediums, C. x Premier (x beechense x Rothschildianum), * A. de Lairesse 
(Curtisii x Rothschildianum), x Comte Adrien de Germiny (X Swanianum 
x Rothschildianum), x Duchess of Sutherland (x Youngianum * Roths- 
childianum), x Lady Maple (x Youngianum x Gowerianum), and one called 
x Garbari (Lawrenceanum X Rothschildianum), evidently a variety of x 
Mahlerz. 
Mr. G. Hansen, Scenic Tract, Berkeley, California, sent a Copy of his 
well-known work, The Orchid Hybrids, for which a Vote of Thanks was given. 
Some special awards we believe were also recommended, but up to the 
time of going to press we have not heard any further details. 
The meeting on July 25th was held at the Drill Hall, James’ Street 
Westminster, and showed a great falling off in the number of exhibits, 
though two ot them secured First-class Certificates. The Orchid Committee 
was represented as follows :—H. J. Veitch, Esq., in the chair, and Messts- 
Ballantine, Chapman, Cobb, Colman, Courtauld, Crawshay; Fowler, |
