JuLy, t910.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 217 
x Andersonianum xX luteopurpureum is an improved form of one mentioned 
at page 125. It is much like the latter in shape and markings, but the 
ground colour of the lip is white, and that of the sepals and petals whitish 
yellow; quite a striking flower. A seedling of O. crispum has a zone of 
confluent red-purple blotches about the middle of the segments. Of two 
others the parentage isnot given. One is most like an enlarged light yellow 
O. sceptrum of good shape, with heavily blotched sepals, a few small spots 
on the petals, and a zone-like blotch on the lip. The other is ivory white 
with large red-brown blotches on the sepals and lip, and a few small round 
spots on the petals. They forma beautiful series. 
At a later date a good form of Odontioda Goodsonz was sent, having 
very dark red-crimson sepals and petals, tipped and slightly margined with 
yellowish white, and the front of the lip of the latter colour. The 
inflorescense is compact, and bears nine flowers, with broad segments. 
The handsome new Odontioda nevense, received with it, is described on 
page 210. 
SOCIETIES. 
RoyAL HORTICULTURAL. 
A MEETING of this Society was held at the Royal Horticultural Hallj, Vin- 
cent-square, Westminster, on June 11th, when there was a very fine display 
of Orchids. The awards for plants consisted of seven medals, one First- 
class Certificate, two Awards of Merit, and one Cultural Commendation, 
besides which a Gold Medal was awarded for a very fine collection of 
Orchid paintings. 
Miss Maud Walters Anson, The Studio, Broadway, Streatham, exhibited 
a magnificent group of about 180 paintings of Orchids, showing the flowers 
in their natural size and colours, the majority representing plants that 
have been exhibited at the Society’s meetings during the past year. The 
group occupied the long space at the end of the Hall, and made an imposing 
display, while the details of shape, colour, and marking were very faithfully 
rendered. The Society's Gold Medal was awarded. We noted fine 
drawings of the new Anguloa Cliftoni, Dendrobium acuminatum, &c. 
W. D. James, Esq., West Dean Park, Chichester (gr. Mr. Smith), 
staged a good group of Vanda teres, the flowers being very fine and richly 
coloured. A Silver Flora Medal was awarded. 
H. Little, Esq., Baronshalt, Twickenham (gr. Mr. Howard), received a 
Silver Flora Medal for a fine group, containing a series of well-grown 
Lelia purpurata varieties, ranging from the lightest to the darkest forms, 
L. x Ithone (x Latona X purpurata), smaller than the latter, but most 
resembling it in colour, three good plants of Leliocaitleya Ballii, L.-c. 
Acis, a handsome L.-c. Schilleriana, &c.
