THE ORCHID REVIEW. 223 
The meeting on June 2oth was more prolific of good things, and quite up 
to the usual standard of excellence in every way. 
The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. 
W. White), was the recipient of no less than four Botanical Certificates, for 
such interesting plants as Luisia volucris and L. Amesiana—both reminding 
one of Aérides Vandarum or Vanda teres by their quill-like leaves and habit 
—Hexisia bidentata with scarlet flowers, and Leelia crispilabia var., having 
a bright yellow lip and purple-pink sepals and petals; Ccelogyne sulphurea 
with rather small semi-pellucid flowers and a sulphur-yellow crest on the 
lip; Masdevallia demissa, with purple flowers, and Phaius Humblotii with 
two spikes, were also noticeable. 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., F.R.H.S., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr. Mr. 
W. Murray), sent.a spike of Selenipedium caudatum Wallisii with four large 
flowers, and a bloom of a hybrid Cypripedium called C. x ‘ Vexill-Io,” which 
is somewhat like C. x vexillarium in shape, but not an improvement on it 
_in colour, 
F. W. Moore, Esq., F.R.H.S., Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin, 
exhibited a strong truss of Aérides virens, with crimson blotched and speckled 
flowers. 
G. W. Law-Schofield, Esq., New Hall Hey, Rawtenstall, Manchester, 
sent flowers of Lelio-cattleya x Arnoldiana. 
From Thos. Statter, Esq., F.R.H.S., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Man- 
chester (gr. Mr, Johnson), came a strong plant of a Cattleya with flowers 
having the general features of C. Warscewiczii, but somewhat different, 
owing to the tubular lip with deep crimson side lobes, and a white expanded 
front lobe mottled with purple near the margin. Twin flowers of the 
beautiful Cypripedium x Aylingii, and a spike of Odontoglossum x 
Wilckeanum superbum came from the same collection. 
M. Wells, Esq., Broomfield, Sale, Manchester, exhibited flowers of 
Cypripedium superbiens, the pretty Cattleya Mendeli delicata, Leelio- 
cattleya x Phoebe, and L. C. x Arnoldiana. © 
Chas. Winn, Esq., The Uplands, Selly Hill, Birmingham, exhibited a 
plant of a pretty Cypripedium under the name of C. “ Psyche,” which from 
all outward appearances is a white-lipped form of C. Godefroya—probably 
C. G. leucochilum, only purer. 
Messrs. Backhouse and Son, of York, exhibited four strong plants ina 
pan of Disa x Veitchii, which bore in the aggregate of twelve expanded 
flowers of a beautiful deep rose colour. 
Messrs. Charlesworth, Shuttleworth,and Co., Heaton, Bradford, exhibited 
a strong Grammangis Ellisii, bearing seventeen greenish-yellow and speckled 
brown flowers. A Botanical Certificate was awarded to Odontoglossum 
Peruviense, which has flowers of the O. mirandum type, being of a deep 
brown with greenish-yellow tips.
