A. W. H. Hay, Esq., Oakley Park, Eye (gr. Mr. Pratt), sent flowers of 
a nearly white form of Dendrobium nobile. 
J. Lumsden, Esq., Balmedie, Aberdeen (gr. Mr. Paterson), sent some 
hybrid Cypripediums. 
E. de Q. Quincey, Esq., Oakwood, Chislehurst (gr. Mr. Lees), sent 
Odontoglossum Londesboroughianum. 
Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool (gr. Mr. Poyntz), showed 
some flowers of Lelia cinnabarina hybrids, including Lelio-cattleya Xx 
Sunray and L.c. x Diogenes, together with two Cypripediums. 
Capt. C. C. Hurst, Burbage Grove, Hinckley, exhibited some Cypri- 
pediums, including varieties of Cc. x Adrastus and C. x Grovesianum, 
together with C. x Lathamianum and C. X Deedmanianum. 
Messrs. H. Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, sent Cypripedium x Prewettii, 
and a fine, almost white, form of Cattleya Triane. 
Messrs. Heath and Son, Cheltenham, staged a group of plants in flower, 
including Dendrobium nobile, D. aureum, D. xX Edithe, D. X splendidis 
simum Leeanum, D. x Cassiope, a fine Cypripedium xX Lathamianum 
giganteum, and some varieties of C. insigne. igs 
Mr. H. A. Tracy, Twickenham, showed a fine Lycaste x Balliz 
superbum. 
There was a slight mistake in your report at page 24 of my exhibit at 
the Drill Hall on December 18th. Cattleya Dowiana Rosita received a 
First-Class Certificate, not an Award of Merit. The plant reported as 
- Lelio-cattleya X leucasta was presented under the name L.-c. x ochracea. 
The Committee thought it was like the former, but I am sure that it will 
prove quite different, for it is derived from Leelia harpophylla crossed with 
‘one of my first hybrids, L.-c. * Sallieri. The third plant was Cattleya 
x Leda, derived from C. Percivaliana x C. Dowiana aurea.
