THE ORCHID REVIEW. 3t 
C. W. Lea, Esq., Parkfield, Hallow (gr. Mr. A. G. Catt), exhibited 
Vanda teres, and its variety alba, together with a spike of Lelia x Trese- 
deriana with seven flowers. : 
W. E. Brymer, Esq., Puddletown, Dorchester (gr. Mr. J. Powell), sent a 
spike of the rare Dendrobium Treacherianum with six flowers, for which a 
Botanical Certificate was awarded. A long straggling spike of Oncidium 
insculptum, with numerous dark brown flowers, also came from the same 
collection, 
B. D. Knox, Esq., Ardmillan, Caversham, exhibited a fairly strong 
plant of Cattleya Alexandra, with one bloom. A spike bearing three 
blooms was also exhibited by Messrs. Linden, of Brussels, together with a 
dried spike, showing that in a wild state as many as a dozen flowers are 
produced. 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, exhibited a large 
and beautifully clear primrose-yellow and white flower of the incomparable 
Cypripedium insigne Sander. 
Dendrobium Phalenopsis Schroederianum, having eight large blush 
flowers on the spike, was shown by Wellbore Ellis, Esq., Hazelbourne, 
Dorking. 
Among the trade growers, Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, con- 
tributed a fine collection of Cypripediums, chief among which were C. x 
Calypso, Oakwood var.’ C. x Sallieri, and its variety superbum, a fine 
plant with five flowers; C.xLynchianum (C. Spicerianum ¢xC. selli- 
gerum majus f), a hybrid with a rosy upper sepal bordered with white, 
and a green stain at base; C.x Johnsonianum (C. x nitens magnificum 2 x 
C. Lawrenceanum /), the blood of the pollen parent being most con- 
spicuous, to which a First-class Certificate was awarded; C. x Alcides 
Superbum (C. insigne albo-marginatum ?xC. hirsutissimum 7%); and C. 
Chamberlainianum, a strong plant, bearing two brilliant flowers on a 
Scape not exceeding four inches in height. The deep purple-flowered 
Lelia Gouldiana, Cattleya O’Brieniana with lilac blooms, and the charming 
little Leelia x Oweniana—the flowers of which remind one somewhat of 
Galeandra Baueri—were also very attractive. Masdevallia x Measuresiana 
(M. tovarensis 9x M. amabilis 2), flowers white inside, pink outside, and 
M. x Courtauldiana, with lilac-purple flowers, were also shown, as well as 
spikes of Phalznopsis grandiflora, and a strong Catasetum sp., bearing nine 
flowers, with dark chocolate blotches on a pale green ground, and a creamy 
helmet-shaped lip, speckled with purple outside, and blotched inside, with 
the minutely fringed white margin. 
Messrs. J. Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, sent several hybrids, the most 
remarkable of which was Sophro-cattleya x Calypso (Sophronitis grandiflora 
$x Cattleya Loddigesii $), which obtained a First-class Certificate. The 
flowers remind one very forcibly of those of Cattleya Loddigesii, but
