116 © THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1907- 
Messrs. James Cypher and Sons, Cheltenham, received a Silver Banksian 
Medal for a good group, consisting largely of splendidly-grown Dendro- 
biums, and others, with the handsome Odontoglossum X_ loochristiense 
var. Empress Frederick in the centre. It had broad bright yellow segments. 
heavily blotched with red-brown. 
Messrs. Hugh Low and Co., Enfield, also received a Silver Banksian 
Medal for a good group of Orchids, including several fine forms of Cattleya. 
Triane and C. Percivaliana, one of the latter, called C. P. Little Gem, 
having the flower nearly white with a yellow disc. 
Messrs. Armstrong and Brown, Tunbridge Wells, also staged a good 
group, including Cymbidium xX Woodhamsianum (Lowianum X eburneo- 
Lowianum), most like the former parent, but the flowers larger and more 
yellow, a home-raised example of Dendrobium nobile virginale, a nearly 
white form of D. superbum, Cypripedium xX Maudie, with three flowers, 
C. x Harrisianum virescens, C. X aureum Hyeanum, C. X Fascinator, 
and others.

of five Medals, three Awards of Merit, and one Cultural Commendation.
