Oncidium Claesii, some fine O. Marshallianum, Eulophiella Elisabethe, 
Cymbidium Humblotii, with four racemes, Phaius simulans, CHonia 
polystachya, Zygopetalum Perrenoudii, Vanda Denisoniana, Leptotes 
bicolor, Maxillaria Sanderiana, Odontocidium Fowlerianum, Ccelogyne 
pandurata, some excellent Miltonia Bleuana and vexillaria, the latter 
including var. Lyoth, a beautiful rose-coloured seedling with a crimson 
mask on the base of the lip, and others too numerous to mention, forming 
one of the richest and most beautiful groups in the show. 
M. Ch. Vuylsteke, Loochristi, staged a remarkable group of Odonto- 
glossums and Odontiodas in a glass case of seven métres frontage, and 
containing over sixty plants. Noteworthy among the Odontoglossums 
were O. Aiglon var. giganteum, an immense flower, heavily blotched with 
purple on a white ground, some brilliant forms of eximium, percultum, 
and amabile, Pomona, suffused with slaty blue and a white margin, 
Saturnus, deep blue purple, Diamant, a fine white, Armide, maroon-purple, 
Queen Elisabeth, white with purple blotches, La Candeur, white with an 
occasional purple blotch, Lawrenceanum, and O. excellens Themis, a large 
yellow form. The Odontiodas were brilliant in the extreme, and included 
Etna, intense scarlet, Gloria Mundi, a large and richly-coloured form, 
Brilliant, deep rose-colour, Vulcan, intense crimson, Blushing Bride, a 
lovely blush pink form without a trace of scarlet, Pierrot, white, with light 
flesh brown blotches, Vuylstekez Enchantress, a large and very beautiful 
form, formosa, a deep scarlet with traces of yellow lines, almost a reversion 
to a large Cochlioda Neetzliana in shape, and many others. 
M. Maurice Verdonck, Gentbrugge, carried off most of the prizes in the 
geographical groups, and his group of Orchids from Peru and Colombia 
contained good examples of Masdevallia coccinea, amabilis, Chimera, and 
ephippium, Odontoglossum cirrhosum and_ polyxanthum, Cochlioda 
Neetzliana and vulcanica, Miltonia Warscewiczii, and others, while among 
the Indian group were good examples of Phalznopsis Schilleriana and 
amabilis, Dendrobium Phalznopsis, and others, Cymbidium insigne and 
Schreederi, Cypripedium tonsum, Chamberlainianum, Rothschildianum, 
barbatum, &c. The groups for twenty-five and twelve Dendrobiums 
contained well-flowered examples of D. nobile, Wardianum, densiflorum, 
chrysotoxum, infundibulum, crassinode, and others, while his fifty Odonto- 
glossum crispum was a well-grown lot of the typical unspotted form, and 
made a fine show. The group of fifty Orchids for florists’ work included 
good representatives of many popular varieties. 
Messrs. Stuart Low & Co., Enfield, staged a fine group of showy 
Orchids, including some good Dendrobium Wardianum, Miltonia vexillaria, 
Cattleya Schroeder and Trianz, Lzliocattleya Dominiana, Brassocattleya 
langleyensis, Maroniz, and’ Fowleri,; fine specimens of Odontoglossum
