Silver-gilt Medal for a choice selection of Orchids, in which Leliocattleya 
Canhamiana alba, L.-c. Cecilia, Cattleya Mossiz Wageneri, C. M. 
Reineckeana, and Odontoglossum Aireworth were most conspicuous. 
Messrs. Mansell & Hatcher, Rawdon, E. Yorks, were awarded a Silver- 
gilt Medal for a choice group, which included many fine varieties of Lzlio- 
cattleya Martinetii, L.-c. Eudora, Odontoglossums, Cattleyas, and 
Cypripediums. 
Mr. J. E. Sadler, Newbury, showed Odontoglossums and Odontiodas in 
a setting of ferns, for which he was awarded a Silver Medal. 
CHINESE ORCHIDS. 
A RECENT issue of Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, contains, 
under the title ‘‘ Plantae Chinenses Forrestianz,’’ an account of the Orchids 
discovered and collected by Mr. G. Forrest during his first exploration of 
Yunnan and Thibet in 1904, 1905, and 1906, by Dr. Schlechter (v. pp. 93- 
113, with nine plates). There are twenty-nine genera and about sixty- 
eight species, the majority being terrestrial, and chiefly of botanical interest. 
Ten new species are described and figured, namely, Herminium ophioglos- 
soides and Forrestii, Habenaria diplonema, diceras, and Forrestii, Neottia 
grandiflora, Pleione Forrestii, Microstylis yuannanensis, Calanthe undulata, 
and Bulleya yunnanensis, the latter a curious new genus near to Pholidota 
but differing in having a spurred lip. Habenaria comes first in point of 
numbers with eight species, while Herminium has seven, Cypripedilum six, 
and Orchis and Pleione each five, the rest being smaller, and sixteen genera 
are only represented by a single species. The enumeration is from dried 
specimens collected by Mr. Forrest.
