and petals being pure white, and the front of the lip bright crimson-purple, 
broadly margined with white. 
F. Wheatley, Esq., Ringmore, Teignmouth, Devon, sent a beautiful 
form of Cattleya Dowiana, called Wheatley’s variety, in which the sepals 
and petals were white, with only a very faint trace of yellow, the lip being 
like that of C. D. aurea. A First-class Certificate was awarded. 
A. H. Smee, Esq., The Grange, Carshalton (gr. Mr. Cummins), received 
an Award of Merit for the pretty little Comparettia speciosa, with three of 
its graceful racemes of light orange flowers. 
J. C. Ramdens, Esq., Willingshurst, Shamley Green, Guildford (gr. Mr. 
Nash), exhibited a splendidly-grown plant of Vanda ccerulea, with two 
spikes and an aggregate of twenty-five flowers, to which a Cultural Com- 
mendation was given. 
G. S. Ball, Esq., Ashford, Wilmslow, Cheshire (gr. Mr. Hay), sent a fine 
flower of the beautiful Cypripedium insigne Sandere. 
De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks (gr. Mr. Cooke), 
sent Odontoglossum Uroskinneri album, the curious seedling which has been 
mentioned in these pages on two or three occasions, but whose exact origin 
still remains doubtful. 
T. W. Swinburne, Esq., Corndean Hall, Winchcombe, Cheltenham, 
exhibited a good form of Cypripedium Charlesworthii. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Royal Exotic Nursery, Chelsea, staged a 
fine group of Orchids, to which a Silver Flora Medal was given. It 
included some good examples of Cattleya x Wendlandii, C. x Mantinii, C. 
x porphyrophlebia, C. X Minucia, several fine C. labiata and C. Dowiana 
aurea, Leelio-cattleya x Nysa, L.-c. x Eunomia, the graceful Coelogyne 
Veitchii with its pendulous racemes of pure white flowers, the remarkable 
Peristeria elata, Cypripedium x Milo, C. x T. B. Haywood, and various 
others. A First-class Certificate was given to Cattleya Apollo (C. Mossiz 
% X C. Aclandie ¢), a very handsome hybrid, with flowers approaching 
C. Mossiz in size, but with the firmer texture of the other parent. The 
sepals and petals are of a buff-pink shade, lightly veined with rose and with 
a few irregular purple markings, while the lip is crimson-purple in front, 
with some yellow in the centre, and the side lobes blush white edged with 
rose. Lelia x Clarinda (L. Perrinii @ x L. pumila 3) has light purple- 
tinted sepals and petals, with the veined lip dark maroon-purple in front. It 
is very pretty, and will probably improve as it becomes stronger. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Clapton Nursery, received a Silver Banksian 
Medal for a good group, containing some fine examples of Cattleya 
labiata and C. Dowiana aurea, C. X porphyrophlebia, the pretty Oncidium
