anterior sepals completely divided. They were referred to Mr. Crawshay 
for examination. 
March 8th, 1g1o0 :— 
MALFORMED CyYPRIPEDIUMS.—Mr. L. Crawshay showed drawings 
illustrating the malformations shown in the twin-flowered inflorescence of 
Cypripedium barbatum from Lord Avebury exhibited at the last meeting. 
He remarked that the two-flowered scape had branched about the middle. 
The terminal flower had a complete perianth except the labellum, which 
was absent, its only indication being a median streak in the anterior sepal. 
The column was formed of normal anthers and two staminodes, the 
stigmatic plate being absent and its place occupied by the anterior 
staminode. The ovary contained two placentas placed opposite to one 
another. The lateral flower was normal in every way except in the 
trimerous outer whorl of the perianth, which showed reversion to the 
primitive type, the three segments being divided to the base. The ovary 
contained only one placenta, placed anteriorly. 
May 3rd, 1910 :— 
MALFORMED OrcHID.—Mr. Crawshay showed an inflorescence of the 
natural hybrid Odontoglossum x Leeanum, every flower malformed, all 
the petals except the lip being absent.
