C. Harrisander (C. X Harrisianum superbum ? x C. Sanderianum @ ), the 
latter a handsome thing, to which an Award of Merit was given.

Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, exhibited Selenipedium Brysa 
(S. X Sedeni candidulum ? x S. Boissierianum g ), Cattleya x Atlanta 
(C. Leopoldi ¢ x C. Warscewiczii g ), a handsome thing, to which a First-

Xx M. peristeria 3), a very pretty hybrid, which received an Award of 
Merit. A flower of each parent was exhibited for comparison. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, staged a small and interesting 
group, containing the pretty little Aganisia ionoptera, Restrepia elegans and 
R. maculata, Pholidota obovata, a yellow form of Gongora galeata, the 
pretty little Paphinia Randii, Calanthe x Laucheana, a prettily spotted 
Odontoglossum crispum, Dendrobi b Cypripedium X Mas- 
saianum, C xX Mabeliz var. Lord Derby, C. x Patersoni, and C. x A. de 
Lairesse. 
Messrs. Thomas Cripps & Son, Tunbridge Wells, exhibited a splendid 
group of Disa grandiflora, some four feet long by over two feet broad» 
containing a large number of plants, mostly with two to four flowers each. 
A Silver Banksian Medal was awarded. 
Messrs. W. L. Lewis & Co., Southgate, exhibited two fine forms of 
C. granulosa, one being a well developed form of the variety Schofieldiana. 
M. Seavy, of Camberwell, exhibited a group of artistic photographs of 
Orchids, comprising about fifteen of cabinet size, mostly Cypripediums, 
and four large ones; one of them, representing a house of Miltonia vexillaria 
and Cattleyas belonging to R. J. Measures, Esq., of Camberwell, being 
very effective. 
CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
F.H. M., Liverpool. The malformed flower of Cypripedium niveum is probably an 
accidental occurrence, as flowers are occasionally seen in other species in which the 
segments remain partially united. 
ELH. W., Scarborough. Brassia brachiata. 
C, Stoldt. Vanda tricolor, var. planilabris. 
G. Bayer. Epidendrum venosum, Maxillaria ochroleuca, and Catasetum viridiflorum. 
W. H. R., Camden Wood. The seedling Cypripedium is clearly descended from 
C. Lawrenceanum and C. superbiens, and is a form of C. x Vervaetianum or C. X 
uu 
E. A. B., Oxford. Apparently a fine light form of Cattleya Gaskelliana. 
E, Newchurch. The creatures sent are leeches, and no doubt came out of the 
water with which the Cypripediums were watered.
