190 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
fine M, X Courtauldiana with sixteen flowers, M. Wageneriana with twice as 
many, a fine Cypripedium x Morganiz burfordiense, the charming Epiden- 
drum xX dellense, and a large number of other handsome things. Some 
idea may be formed of the extent of this marvellous group from the fact that 
this and the next two collections occupied the whole of one side of the stage 
in the large marquee, and in nearly equal proportions. But the crowning 
figure of this marvellous group was a gigantic specimen of Cceelogyne Dayana, 
with twenty-two of its long and graceful pendulous spikes, containing over 
eight hundred flowers, to which a Silver Flora Medal and a First-class 
Certificate were awarded. 
The next collection was that of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford 
Lodge, Dorking (gr. Mr. W. H. White), and this also was awarded a Silver 
Cup. This too was a magnificent group and most effectively arranged. In 
addition to a large number of the showy things found in every collection, 
there were numerous plants which call for special mention. Two plants of 
the new and handsome Cochlioda Noezliana were very effective, and show 
to what this charming plant may develop. A good plant of Nanodes 
Medusz showed two of its quaint flowers with handsomely fringed lip. A 
tall plant of Epidendrum x O’Brienianum at the back carried seven trusses 
of its bright cherry-red flowers, while near it was a fine specimen of 
Sobralia macrantha, one of Phaius Sanderianus, some fine Vandas, Oncidium 
ampliatum, Odontoglossum hastilabium, a handsome Cypripedium Roths- _ 
childianum, with six flowers, and Epidendrum Mooreanum with a very 
graceful panicle of flowers. Here were many brilliant Masdevallias, in- 
cluding M. x Mundyana, M. x Veitchii, M. x Chelsoni, the quaint little 
M. simula, and M. peristeria; also a fine Lelia tenebrosa, some grand forms 
of L. purpurata, the pure white Cattleya intermedia Parthenia, C. x 
fimbriata, and most of the other showy Cattleyas now in flower. One of 
the most striking things was Lelio-cattleya x Phoebe, with orange sepals 
and petals, and a deep crimson lip. Many beautiful Odontoglossums, both 
species and hybrids, were included, among which O. x excellens, O. citros- 
mum, O. polyxanthum, and others, were conspicuous, also several Oncidiums, 
Brassia verrucosa, Anguloa Ruckeri, several Dendrobiums, Zygopetalum 
crinitum, the quaint Luisia volucris, and others too numerous to mention. 
Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, staged a most extensive and very 
beautiful group, in which Cattleyas in variety, Lelia purpurata, Phatus 
Sanderianus, Miltonia vexillaria, Odontoglossums, including O. citrosmum 
and O. crispum, and Epidendrum vitellinum figured in quantity. Of the 
latter there were between three and four hundred spikes, which made a most 
brilliant display. Three plants received Awards of Merit, namely, Miltonia 
vexillaria “‘ Princess May,” Odontoglossum Wattianum, Hardy’s variety f 
and Lelia purpurata nobilius, all very handsome. Others worthy of mention 
were Lelia majalis, Cattleya x Wellsiana, and C. O’Brieniana splendida,
