ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
THERE was a brilliant display of Orchids at the Drill Hall, James Street, 
Westminster, on November 7th, which was largely due to the presence in 
quantity of the fine old Cattleya labiata, and it is curious to note that this 
species carried off all the First-class Certificates awarded at the meeting. 
The members of the Orchid Committee were :—H. J. Veitch, Esq., in the 
chair, and Messrs. E. Ashworth, H. Ballantine, H. J. Chapman, J. Colman, 
J. Douglas, J. G. Fowler, J. T. Gabriel, T. B. Haywood, E. Hill, J. Jaques, 
C. J. Lucas, A. H. Smee, F. J. Thorne, R. B. White, W. H. Young, and 
J. O’Brien (hon. sec.). 
R. Brooman White, Esq., Arddarroch, Garelochead, sent some two- 
dozen fine spikes of Odontoglossum crispum, selected from over two-hundred 
in flower in the collection. One very beautiful form approached O. c. 
xanthotes, but had broader rounded flowers, with a deep yellow blotch in 
the centre of each sepal, and a row of similar spots round the margin of the 
lip. O.c. Geraldine, shaded with rose-pink and blotched with red-brown, 
was also very handsome. The group received a Silver Banksian Medal.
