THE ORCHID REVIEW. | 27 
O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury (gr. Mr. Rogers), showed 
Cypripedium insigne Uplands variety (First-class Certificate), C. X 
Leeanum perfectum and C. X Crossianum superbum. 
H. Worthington, Esq., Abbey Lawn, Whalley Range (gr. Mr. Went), 
showed Lelia anceps alba, to which an Award ot Merit was given. This is 
a pure white form of this beautiful species, but the flowers are rather 
wanting in size. 
W. H. Almond, Esq., Blackburn, showed a very well-grown specimen 
of Oncidium tigrinum, to which a Cultural Certificate was awarded. 
W. A. Gent, Esq., Brooklands, showed Cypripedium X Lathamianum. 
W. Bolton, Esq., Wilderspool (gr. Mr. Cain), showed Cattleya labiata, 
C. Gaskelliana, C. Trianz albens, Lelio-cattleya x Aurora, and Odonto- 
glossum Pescatorei. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St, Albans, showed a very fine plant of 
Odontoglossum X cuspidatum magnificum with an immense spike of 
flowers. It received an Award of Merit, but we think no one could have 
complained if it had received higher honours. They also showed Leelio- 
cattleya X Gottoiana (Award of Merit), Odontoglossum crispum Pink 
Beauty (Award of Merit), and O. X Wattianum. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Upper Clapton, showed Cypripedium xX 
Minos magnificum. 
Mr. John Robson, Altrincham, showed Cypripedium X Leeanum 
splendens, and C. X Leeanum giganteum (Award of Merit). This exhibitor 
also staged a very fine group of miscellaneous Orchids, which received a 
Vote of Thanks. 
Mr. James Cypher, Cheltenham, showed Lzlia tenebrosa Thompsoni, 
which obtained an Award of Merit. 
Mr. William Owen, Hartford and Greenbank Nurseries, Northwich, 
staged a good group of Cypripedium insigne, in which most of the 
ordinary motanum forms were represented. A Vote of Thanks was awarded. 
ONCIDIUM VARICOSUM VAR. INSIGNE. 
A very striking Oncidium has recently appeared in several collections, 
with much of the general character of the old O. varicosum, but differing 
in having a very large deep red-brown irregular blotch surrounding the crest. 
The small sepals and petals are also of a still darker shade, imparting to the 
flower quite a distinctive aspect, in spite of the general agreement in 
shape and other details. I have seen flowers successively from the Royal 
Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, the collection of H. Druce, Esq., St. John’s
