Phalzenopsis, showing much variation, to which a Silver Banksian Medal 
was awarded. Conspicuous among them were the variety Statterianum,

Brassocattleya Pocahontas (C. Eldorado x B. Digbyana), a pretty white 
flower with a yellow throat and a fringed margin to the lip, and a number 
of hybrid Cattleyas, among which forms of X Iris, x Adula, x Fabia, X
