At this meeting, the Gardeners’ Chronicle reports (p. 417), in consequence 
-of the remarks of a correspondent as to the identity of Cymbidium X 
Maggie Fowler and C. x Gammieanum, the Orchid Committee had 
before them the plate of C. x Gammieanum, from King and Pantling’s 
Orchids of the Sikkim Himalaya, and the drawing of C. x Maggie Fowler, 
together with other material considered before, and they unanimously 
-agreed that there was no reason for considering the two plants as identical, 
and therefore the Award of Merit given to C. x Maggie Fowler must be 
sustained. The plant, it is said, was obtained from Messrs. Charlesworth. 
Thus the Committee are of opinion that C. x Maggie Fowler is a natural 
hybrid between C. elegans and C. giganteum.
