James Street, Victoria Street, Westminster, when amateurs and tradesmen 
exhibited in about equal numbers, if not in equal quantities. 
The President of the Society, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, 
Dorking, sent a few plants, among them being Masdevallia Schroederiana, 
and a new hybrid Cypripedium with the name of “ conco-Lawre,” the result 
of fertilising C. concolor with the pollen of C. Lawrenceanum, The 
flowers are creamy white, speckled with rose, and somewhat resemble those 
of C. x Marshallianum. An Award of Merit was given. , 
From the Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Mr. F. W. Moore, F.R.HS, 
sent Diuris maculata, an old but very rare Australian Orchid, with yellow 
flowers blotched with dark reddish-brown, and Eria barbata, having deep 
purple stripes on an orange ground, and very hairy ovary. These two 
Orchids received a Botanical Certificate. From the same collection came 
the canary-yellow Epidendrum xanthinum and the white-flowered Den- 
drobium teretifolium, the stems of which are much like those of 4 
Scuticaria. 
R. Brooman White, Esq., F.R.H.S., Garelochhead, N.B., sent flowers — 
of Cattleya amethystoglossa under the name of C. Claesiana.

and petals and a deep crimson lip; Odontoglossum cirrhosum, le Doux vat, 
a form having the segments thickly studded with deep brown blotches; and

pedium insigne punctato-violaceum ? x C. Spicerianum 7; a good form
