Ocrozer, 1910.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 315 
general display of Cattleyas and hybrids with Cypripediums and 
Odontoglossums. 
G. Shorland Ball, Esq., Burton, Westmorland (gr. Mr. Herdman), was 
awarded a Silver Medal for a group, consisting principally of Cypripediums, 
such varieties as C. X Maudie, C. xX Daisy Barclay, and C. insigne 
Sander being shown in good form. 
Messrs. Stanley & Co. Southgate, staged a collection of Cattleya x 
iridescens, all from the one seed pod, but no two of which were similar. 
This hybrid is a charming and showy addition. C. X iridescens var. 
splendens received an Award of Merit. 
J. J. Holden, Esq., Southport (gr. Mr. Johnson), exhibited Odonto- 
glossum X excellens, Auburn House var., its characteristic being the very 
distinct and beautifully marked lip (Award of Merit). 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath, received an Award of 
Merit for Cattleya xX Mrs. Pitt, Charlesworth’s var., intensely dark in 
colour. 
Mr. J. Robson, Altrincham, exhibited Cypripedium xX Rolfei, C. x 
Priam, and a good Odontoglossum hybrid, with O. crispum var. Graireanum 
evidently one of its parents. 
Rey, J. Crombleholme, Clayton-le-Moors, exhibited Cypripedium X 
Lord Ossulston var. seraphicum. 
W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone (gr. Mr. Stevens), exhibited 
a new and quite distinct Lelia called L. x W. Thompson. In the 
formation of the flower it resembled L. Jongheana, the sepals and petals 
were pure white, and the labellum an intense chrome yellow, beautifully 
fringed and not unlike a small lip of Cattleya Mossi var. Wageneri 
(First-class Certificate). 
J. McCartney, Esq., Bolton (gr. Mr. Holmes), sent a iat of Cattleya 
hybrids. 
E. Ashworth, Esq., Wilmslow (gr. Mr. Holbrook), was awarded a 
Cultural Certificate for a well-grown plant of Cattleya X Maroni. 
The Liverpool Orchid Co. and Mr. W. Shackleton were accorded Votes — 
of Thanks for small displays. 
CycnocHEs aT KEw.—Five species of this interesting genus are 
flowering at Kew. C. maculatum is bearing male and female flowers on 
different plants, the latter a spike of three flowers. A plant of C. 
Egertonianum, which recently produced four female flowers, is carrying a 
male inflorescence. C. stelliferum, C. ventricosum, and C. chlorochilon 
are also in bloom, all the flowers being males. They form a very interesting 
series, and it is curious to note how much longer the very fleshy female 
flowers remain fresh than the more membreneous male flowers.
